Re: Going jdm
Advice: spend the JDM money on rebuilding your motor, don't waste it on buying a block you already have.
If you want to build, buy an H23 block at your local salvage yard and put your H22 head on it. That way you'll have a low budget block for building.
I just saved you $2000, wanna share?? J/K

Re: Going jdm
My problem is there is not a prelude in a junkyard for over 250 miles. I found a good deal on a jdm motor and trany only $1700 with only 20-40k miles then like 200 for shipping.I can get it slaped in for free from a friend. Only reason I thought to get a new block is low miles.here are a phew questions I have after being what was said. What are the pros and cons of a jdm engine. Will a jdm trany bolt up with my usdm h22.and last what is a good start for my build operating with around $1000 being I still need a new trany because of a grinding 1st and reverse gears and will want a turbo in the future and need a more powerful trany to handle it. So on short after the trany would have a grand and my motor is stock.

After all the problems with my H-series tranny I'd go H2B....
