Im looking to put a B16 into my 00 coupe but I'm not sure which is financially the best way to go about it? I see that alot of people sell blocks for decent prices, and then trying to find a head and tranny would be needed. But I could try and find a complete setup (block and head), and then just look for a tranny and not piece it together.

I'm just looking for opinions of what might be better? I'm partially hesitant when I see blocks for too low prices sometimes, because I don't fully know what to inspect and check when buying a block or head.. Any info would be helpful.. because I'm looking to start soon with this mission.

 

It comes down to how much money and time you have. I would piece things together if my budget was limited. If the block is sound then go for it and rebuild it.

 

Due to so many small parts that can be over looked, i'd start with a long block

 

I can gradually gather all the parts, but I am trying to keep this down as cheap as possible... I mean I've seen blocks for 150 bucks people are selling.. But I'm tryin to make sure that when i'm said and done.. i'm not about to run into major issues..

 

Hey jperk,
Let me know how your mission goes...I'm going with the B also but broker than a brokeback mountain.
