Yes but nobody will pay for my engine and the diference is 10hp so if I swap I will swap for b16. The block will go down tomorow because it is producing noise on 2500 when the car is cold. So I wanted to try to put another block. I searched for available blocks that will fit on my head and I found that the d16b2,b6,b7 engine blocks use the same head gasket as my z6 head.

I don't know the availability of engine in Croatia, but it would be a lot easier and probably cheaper to buy a whole nother engine than to swap blocks. Swapping blocks is a pretty big project, you're going to need to remove the engine anyway. If you're putting your head on another block, then you're also going to be replacing the head gasket, head studs, timing belt, waterpump, valve cover gasket, and a couple other things. This is going to add up. If you could look around you might be able to find a whole d16z6 swap for about ~300. Good luck

There is a **** load of Yugo engines here but Honda is expensive and hard to find. The d16z6 engine is sold here for 1000Eur and b16 fo 2500eur.
