Default What should I do b16/b18c question?

I have a JDM b16 motor in my car now but have a set of Saenz GSR rods they are sooooo much beefier than eagle rods. should I get a 1.8 or try to build my b16 with the gsr rods?

If you're bent on having a 1.8, then get a GSR or LS block. Those rods WILL NOT FIT in a B16(unless you deck the block, but that's not really cheap). Sell the rods to help pay for your block and you'll be fine.
