Default b20

I decided to do a b20z swap with a b16 head

i just wanted to see if any one knew where i could find a b20 i can only find the b20 b. also what tranny do you recommend, and i heard that the b20's with out the b16 head or a b18 head wont fit in a eg and i plan on running just the b20 for like a few months.

thanks

u can run the b20 in a civic. you just need a LS integra intake manifold or a skunk 2 or something. the stock manifold sits too high and the hood will not clear. you can reuse the injectors, fuel rail, throttle body and stuff. and if you are gonna do the b20vtec later go with a gsr or b16 tranny. if you can get LSD it would be better

THe B and Z engines have different comp. ratios. Thats all I can come up with as far as that goes. The B intake manifold (giraffe) won't work under the hood. I think the Z manifold will though.
