Default block info

I got a b16a 2nd gen with a bad block. And a b16a 1st gen block in the garage. Can i take the guts out of the 2nd gen and put them in the first gen block? Without any problems?

I honestly don't see why not

both blocks are very much the same. Only thing I could ever think that would change is the valve train for different cams but don't think that's the case.

go for it cheif

Whats wrong with the "bad" block?

And if the other block is fine, why not use it? Unless its a bare block?... Just curious.

one of the cylinders has a ridge. You can see where the rings where. Who knows how long the motor sat? I've only had the swap for about 6 months
