On a budget? Get an b18b keep your tranny. Got some money get a b18c1 or 5. still keep your tranny. If its still good.

LS/Vtec but it's going to take a while to build if you want to do it right.

this problem needs to be solved.... i need no headaches. should i rebuild the block?should i get another short block.. if i get a b18c can i keep my ecu.. my mechanic hates the vafc i got a lecture today by him telling me its shitty. i had it dyno tuned at abacus in virginia. could this have caused the problem/?? i still think its the overrevving. it was making a rattle up top in higher rpms. i thought it was an exhaust leak of some sort. so i had it put on the lift then the guy just beat the hell out of the engine then it started to knock my mechanic said the knock was coming from the block. it knocks when you first start it. then it goesaway then at 3k it starts to knock again

before you do anything. You need to figue out what is wrong with the motor first.
It could be the valves out of spec. Have you check on them yet?

like i said before
you need to figue out whats going on with the motor

pull the head off and inspect it
if you dont see anything wrong there

pull the oil pan out and check the bearings/rod

theres no point on getting the b18c block if the head is damaged
