Hi Jon,=20

 The blocks are essentially the same.  I believe the BJ7 block has the =
dipstick in the same location as all of the previous 6 cylinder engines. =
The BJ8 blocks have the dipstick in a slightly different location but =
other than that they are the same. Also the BJ8 engines don=E2=80=99t =
use a mechanical tack drive.
