2.0 block bpg auto vs manual

[Trema13]

So I blew up my block, was curious if anyone know the difference between the b7 2.0 automatic block vs the manual block. from the info I can gather the cranks are different obviously, but I wasnt sure if anything else. I tried searching thru the forum but did not find an exact answer. thanks in advance

The blocks are the same. Also, BPG, BPY, and BWT blocks are all interchangeable. The BPY will require swapping oil pans, oil pickup, and external accessories since it is mounted transversely. I currently have a BPY block in my car.

ok nice, someone in my area has the block for cheap but it was out of a automatic for $250. It seems like a good deal. I am in for some fun. thank you
