hey guys,

since i have a 98 LS , would any of the engine parts from an earlier b18 A/B fit with my current B18(i.e pistons, crank, head,cams,block, sensors, fuel rail etc), pretty much are they 100% univ.?

 

yes all b18a/b motors are the same.

 

so it would be okay to mis match the years of the parts??? like head and block...

now next question is should i just buy the block or should i spend the entra and just get a whole new engine and tear that one down?

 

its fine to swap parts between them, because its all the same components...

as for the block, i would either source out a complete b18b or a b20b from Hmotorsonline.com or passwordjdm.com since they can be had for pretty cheap.

 

i was gonna get the b18b1 block with the new head,

and use:
Eagle 4340 Forged Steel Crankshaft
Eagle 4340 Forged 3-D H-Beam Rods with ARP rod bolts
SRP Forged Pistons
Piston Wrist Pins, Locks and Piston Rings included
ACL High performance bearings
CROWER TWIN CAMSHAFTS stage 2
OMNI POWER VALVES
ti retainers
Dual valve spring

this a good combo?
