At importbuilders they said it will cost 800 for resleeving and 200 for boring and honing.

yeah, i know some people that can build it for you. Its best to use a b20 block and crank with 44.5 overbore pistons. Its better to get the B16A head over the B18 since theyre pretty much the same thing with the exception of cam profiles (and i think the exhaust valves are heat treated in a B18C5), so if your doing a rebuild it would be cheaper to get a B16A head. Go with a B16B intake camshaft and B18C5 camshaft for the exhaust side. You want to get a head gasket to match the B20 block. If you plan on turboing the engine, get the B20B and not the B20Z, the B20B is better for turboing since it has a lower compression due to the pistons (the B20Z has flat top pistons). You want to get the piston's valve releifs grinded farther in to make sure they dont come in contact with the valves since its been common with people that dont do this precautionary step. The GSR tranny is the best transmission for the swap, some people go with the LS though. The Type-R is definately not the tranny you want for a street driver becuase your going to be flinging the engine in high rpms just to go normal highway speeds, and because the b20 has a longer stroke it wont be able to handle those kind of revs constantly.

BROOD

Resleeved and bored/honed: I paid $925 plus shipping costs for GE sleeves on a B18B block.

Are you planning on having your B20 block resleeved? If your not planning to boost this engine, why are you interested in resleeving? It already has a 84mm bore.
