I think we need more specifics of what you are trying to do. Everyone appears to be under the assumption that you are going to put a T2 engine in the SE (this is what I am assuming as well). In this case you would want the SE front cover because that is where the SE engine mounts to. You'll just need to modify it to add the turbo oil return line.

If you are trying to put the SE cover on a T2 engine that is in a T2 (or other 2nd gen car) I don't see a problem using the SE cover. You would need to do something for the turbo oil line, though. You would be better off using the T2 cover in that case.

The 1st gen engines have engine mounts on the front. The second gen engines have the mounts on the sides/bottom. If you put a 2nd gen front cover on a 1st gen engine then there won't be any engine mounts on the engine. You'll have to come up with your own custom mounting setup.
