What do you have to do for this to work and what would be the results?

 

you need the b17 crank and the b17 rods.

and the corrosponding bearings.

you can use your b16 pistons.

result: 1.7L

 

You take the crank and rods out of the B17 and put them in the B16.Then you have a B17 again.With a B16 block.Its the same thing .Why do it?

Correct me if im wrong but the b17 has a 82 or 83mm crank as compared to a 77mm..... Not the same thing

Randy is just saying both blocks are identical, and swapping a b17a crank and rods into a b16a is just gonna make a 1.7L that has b16a stamped on the block. Kind of a waste if you already have the b17a

 

Thank you

 

Maybe he doesn't have a b17 block. But if he does maybe he just want's to say he has a b16. Don't fake the funk.

 

due to bills I dont have much money to stroke the b16 so I figured I would like to get a little more stroke cheaper. I have a type r crank could I use that with the b17rods or would I have to deck the block?
