Block questions
ok me being somewhat new to hybridizing and stuff
i need to know if the B18C1 and b18C5 blocks are identical.
ie- i plan on building a bottom end and have access to a C5 block to swap into instead of building the C1 bottom end
are they identical if i put a 98 GSR head on the C5 block in terms of deck height, compression, all specs?
Help me out here

Re: Block questions (HXMan)
funny you ask this question. I just put together a ITR block w/GSR head.
C5 block= P73-AO pistons, micropolished crank, stronger rods, oil cooler
C1 block
72-AO pistons, etc, etc, etc
GSR head on C5 block gets you 10.8-10.9-ish CR.....everything bolts up perfectly, no drama. If you do this get a Mugen head gasket, increases CR by .4. So you'll be at 11.2-11.3-ish CR. My motor feels strong as hell. I have 72 miles so far on the new block.
