i currently have an ls/vtec with an LS casing with CTR gears w/lsd, now if i swap my long block for my frends b16 complete longblock, will his b16 long block bolt up with my tranny? and vice versa for him?

 

All B series trannies are interchangeable.

They will swap out fine.

what he said

 

got it!

 

b16 longblock? i thought the b18 was the long block, and the b16 was considered the short block? and yes all bseries are interchangable(to an extent).

"Shortblock" and "longblock" are general engine terms. A "shortblock" includes the cylinder block and all of its internals (crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, etc.); sometimes referred to as "the bottom end" of the engine. A "longblock" is a complete engine assembly including the shortblock and the cylinder head with its internals (valvetrain, cams, etc.).

It actually has nothing to do with the physical dimensions of the block. You're thinking of the deck height - a B16A cylinder block has a 7mm shorter deck height than a B16B/B18/B20 cylinder block.

 

AHHH!, i always considered it "short" being the smaller(1.6L) and "long" being bigger than(1.8L). thanks for clarifing that for me!

Yeah I think you may have been getting confused with the terms "big block" and "small block" like in domestic world

 

it will work but you'll be sorry when you don't have any torque

You don't need it when you rev up to 8k and have short gears.

What crack are you smoking? I have a B16, and lack of torque is the reason there's a GSR block in my wall locker

 

you will be fine.
