as far as i know its a false statement. the b20 og prelude crank although a B it cant have relations with any b-series engines like b16,b18,c1,b18c5,b20(crv).

Yes you can use it. with the older prelude b20 crank. its not a simple drop in though, we had some machining to do to it to make it work. we used it in an ls block. one had the older single cam prelude crank which used b16 rods. and the other used the dual cam prelude crank machined to fit LS rods.

the single cam prelude crank required no machining and dropped in utilising the b16 rods. the dual cam prelude as i remember we had to size the journals ofr the LS rods. and maybe something else. it was Years ago so i'm not exactly sure what we had to do besides the basic machining!! other than that its a drop in and i'm pretty sure thats a 95mm stroke crank..
