ok...i heard that you can put a a20 block on with a b16 head?? but what tranny would i use?? and would i still have the same shift linkage?

 

Where does this A-Series come from!!!!!

 

they are from the old school accords. 86-89(a20a) are a sohc 12valve motor that is carb. then the other is a20a3. that year is 88-89. those a20a3 are fuel injected.

 

here is a picture...

how many forums are you gonna post this in?
dude i highly highly dobut its possible
and just because the sleevs are iron dosent mean it will hold more boost

thats a SOHC motor, butting a b sreies head on isnt gonna work.

 

here is a picture of the top of a A18 block...

yep, that should definitly show you the problem areas.

i reckon you will find that the head is wider than the block, and the oil return holes will be outside the block oil return passages...

i wonder if the head bolt holes will match up?

my guess is is that they wont.

we will see tomorrow

 

Even if they do fit where are you going to get a timing belt that'll work?
Keep us posted. I'm actually interested in this.

 

haha i use to have a "tricked" out 89 accord lxi...gotta love the A-series...wow memories...i pulled a 17.1 with all the bolt-ons on that sucka...

oh yea...it wont work!

 

so wu tang, how did it go?

i was busy last night, so didnt quite get to measure it up...

did you find out whether it will work?
