Youd have to try a little bit harder to get that single cam in the 13's. Twin cam shouldnt be as difficult in my opionion. Another thing is the cost b series swaps are a little more expensive. How deep is your wallet?I would love a geezeer turbo though . Or even the big boy the b20 turbo. Now im confused let us know with what you go with.

i would like a b20..but cylinder walls are an issue..
if i go with a b-series..i just need the long block and
a set of mounts..that shouldn't be to deep in my wallet
unless i go gsr or type r..but...i might just do a b18a
with F/I...i've already have a dodge colt that runs 12.4's..and maybe high 11's with the new 20g turbo..this
is just my daily driver with a pair of *****...got the 91 civic hatch 300 bux..gotta do sumthing to it...thanks!

you'll need axles/mounts/shift linkage/hoses/rear mount bracket and a few other misc things... B-series is not cheap, but the easiest way to get 13's is just go turbo D-series.. its cheap and right to the point.
