6g72 MIVEC Block the same as 6G72 DOHC?

[Corbic]

Is the crank and block the same on the Diamante 30M 6G72 MIVEC engine as the the DOHC 6G72's found in the 3SGTO? I know it is facing the other way, but the does not preclude it from simply using different bolt-on engine mounts.

I bought a VR-4 with a spun bearing (now locked) and need a virgin block and crank at the least. I fell the ~$1000 asking price of domestic pull outs is lunacy and the MIVEC would at least have heads I could play with at another time.

I wouldn't count your original block out just yet... unless it spun a main bearing, which is pretty rare, or tossed a rod through something important, it can likely be saved.

The only thing on that mivec that will fit your car is the crankshaft....

Something I didn't know.

Thanks, Larry.
