so theres this b16a1 bottom end (crank, rods, + pistons as far as i know)for sale that i might want to get, the only problem is that there was some predetionation damage to some of the cylinders and the guy "says" the walls are maybe undamaged. he wants $50 for it, i was thinking that this would maybe be a good block for a rebuild, rather than buying a complete engine. would i save any money????

For $50 I'd buy it is the cylinder walls were fine.

If the walls are ok, you can just get a bore/hone along with some oversized pisonts and rods and you'd be set.

 

you should be able to find b16 bottom ends all day long. people can't GIVE those away

 

what do you mean?
like i should be able to get one for free? i dont live in a large city, just a small one in oregon.

oh and does any one know around how much a the bottom end would weigh?
