B16 header on B18?
 
Alright guys, this isn't for me, it's for my roomates 94 LS. He may be able to get a free B16 DC header from the dealership he works at, came with a trade in.

I just wanted to know if the b16 header will fit on his b18b or if the deck height is too different...

Thanks

yeah, but aren't the b18c engines more similar to the b16s? btw, this is for my LS.

yeah exhaust ports are the same, its the intake mani studs that are off and the coolant passage doesnt line up... but the turbo manifolds and headers are the same pattern

thanks dude, i knew that something didn't line up right, i just couldn't remember.

btw, i might not get it for free, so what would a reasonable offerbe? i was thinking about starting at a lo-ball and saying $70, just to see if it works, it's been sitting in the office for a month now, so they may not care anyway.

toppage. i would like a few more opinions on this, someone on HAN told me that the b16 block is shorter than the b18 block. i am most likely gonna buy it so i can sell it on ebizzle anyway.

yes b18 is longer block than the b16. If it is a 4-2-1 header it will fit but if its a 4-1 in my opinion it wont definatly fit.

but i am almost certain that the b18c5 is closer to a b16 than a b18b, but lsi kind of made a good point, so maybe ill call a shop on monday or something. i have been moving the header around the office to see if my boss notices it gone, maybe ill just nab it one of these days.

I´ve said that cause I know that the b18 block is longer than the b16. I´ve seen lots of b16´s with b18´s headers either 4-2-1 or 4-1 and they have a big clearence betwen the header and the oil pan but i have a b16 in my eg with a vibrant 4-1 and its damn close to the oil pan that you cant even put a finger betwen them so i figure it wouldnt fit a b18.

EDIT: know..not now

Damn stupid portuguese who doesnt know how to write english :P

I would look for a B16 head to put on your B18, not a header.
