Got a free B18A1 engine... what to do with it...
 

I really dont know; i loathe everything b-series because of its price compared to D but the ls motor is the budget B.
I'm not going to just swap it in because now i'm running a built D16 that i'm finally getting dialed in and running how I want it; but I also dont want to sell it as I know i'll never get a deal like this again...

decisions decisions...

So I guess my question is; you think i should start picking up parts for it like rods/pistons/b16 head/etc and build it up so when one day I blow the hell out of my D16 I can drop a monster B in; or you think I should hold on to it and hope F&F3 has some B18 powered abomination in it causing the price of B18s to shoot through the roof :)

IMHO the only thing expensive about b-series is the trannys. You can find a b16 or LS for pretty cheap. Id keep it and start gathering parts for a b-series swap.

word my thoughts exactly. Ls blocks are about the same cost has d16z6 these days.

If you ever think of selling it.. let me know.

I've been given several LS engines, all sub 100K. Get over it.

---- give me two...............


I think you should build it. a built B owns a built D, but if you already spent the time and money to build your D keep it. I would Build the LS, find a cheap shell and drop it in. You'll have two cars with good engines for cheap. If you find a blown 90-93 integra, you can probably buy it for $500-$800, take out the old engine and drop in the built one, or even stock LS. Then turn around and sell it for $3000, you made easy $2000. Same goes for any other Honda. or keep it as a beater.

LS motors are worthless pieces of crap and everything b-series sucks.
