Sooo, that should give me at least another $1000 to play with before we can call even-steven on a stock b18c1...

amen brotha'...that's why i didn't swap. only $1200 invested here including tuning. now if i can only get my hands on a '00 y7 engine that someone's tossing so i can build it up for 15psi.

I can get you a 98 d16y7 engine, no pistons or crank (block internals). Just the cast block and head. Onyx has my old engine sitting in his garage, one of the connecting rods came undone from bad fuel management but the block is in perfect shape and the head is unscathed had about 65,000 miles on it.
