Pros/ Cons on B16 head w/ B18 block?
Just like the topic says. I'm looking for the Pros/ Cons on B16 head w/ B18 block.
I really want a 2nd GEN B16, but finding them kinda pricey.
I am finding heads and blocks kinda cheap and am thinking about buying them and mating them, this way if I want to build them up, I can and they are already disassembled. Also, I can see what I am getting as they are already appart.
No real hidden surprises, right?

i'm running a 2gen b16a head mated with a '94 b18c1 block.
del-sol piston with a minor resurface with the head.
ITR cams with ITR manifold & chipped p28 ecu (skunk)
putting down 177 hp and 136lbs of torque, which equals to mid 13's pass.
happy for now

Re: Pros/ Cons on B16 head w/ B18 block? (vtecvoodoo)
any suggestions for "building it right"?
I have never frankensteined so I just want to be as knowlegeable as possible off the bat.

NOTE: I am not doing an LS VTEC, just a B18C block w/ B16 head. Sorry, I should have specified earlier.

Sounds like a plan, especially if you want more than 1.6 liters, but dont want to hassle through a non VTEC block.
