The difference is the internal and external bypass of the water pump. The older engines with the hose are the external bypass type. I believe the difference is in the head, not the block. The newer heads should have a pop out area on the front for an internal bypassed water pump. I could be wrong but a visual inspection should confirm this.

I would also look at the oil filtration system as newer blocks were machined for full flow oil filtration and earlier blocks did not have any, or uswed the bypass system.
