How many 53 blocks had the second turbo drain, and the 2 rails down each side of the block?

All.

Where do the 53s normally crack?

A crack develops on the right side of the engine, below the freeze plugs, right where the block bends back towards the inside of the block.

thanks for the link, now how do you identify a STORM block?

The two turbo drains and two rails on the side would be a good start. Has more bosses in the block than the old blocks as well.

well i dont know what to think anymore, I heard only the storm blocks had 2 drains and the 53's didnt.
