I want to say what it's for a support for the manifold or turbo, but not 100% sure since it's been so long.

I'm pretty sure that's right. I have the support sitting in a box back home, but I haven't ever put it on, so not totally sure.

I'm with you guys. I'm pretty sure it's for the lower manifold support bracket.

After digging up some pics I had of my motor, I can't make out that exact spot becuase of the angle, but I know none of the supports bolt there...

Here's a pic of my block that I used for reference, if it helps. Ports circled in blue are oil.

northwestsupra, sorry for the bum info in my first response - I thought you were asking about the hole to the left of the dipstick tube. Duh. Yeah, all the orange circles in IJ's post are oil pressure.
