look for a B18C1 block to build on. B16A pistons in that would be nice.

B18 always wins out over B16 on this board. The argument has been spelled out about 100 BILLION times.

Factor in condition/mileage of the block and overall cost. Even then, you will still find yourself surrounded by B18 supporters.

Get what you want.
