Piecing together a kit is always cheaper, and usually better.

Look for a used trans, someone was just letting one go in our area for $300.

IMO I would sell the B and build a D!!! Alot of people are gonna say turbo the B rebuild the trans or get a used 1 like "90blackcrx" said which would be a strong runnin CRX but if u build a good STRONG runnin turbo D u'll have just as much fun if not more and ALOT of people will NOT be lookin for a D to blow there doors off!!! But like I said its just my opinion.

SAVE THE SOHC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
