yep scraped em both, at the time it looked as tho i was going to end up with a couple more M series engines but thay didnt eventuate,
the m and 5m blocks are exactly the same from what i could see if there was difference all the timing gear at the front would of been different so throw your m crank rods and 5m pistons in (pin hight is your only worry) and you end up with a bore:stroke ratio the same as the 1jz i HIGHLY suggest esp with a turbo engine you dont use a bored block thare are plenty of good 5m blocks that only need a light hone/deglaze out of the 5 M engines i have opened up only a couple have not still had visable factory crosshatch left, mind you hay have all been EFI supra engines maybe toyota grades the blocks for "sports use" and a granny driven engine will have worse ridges at the top then an engie that sees 5500+ often
anyway why are you worrying about this your geting one of the sexyest 5m-e blocks i have seen and that aqua color will give you an extra 10kw!!!
