sup , i have a gsr b18c1 block in my garage. it has no crank , but does come with the main caps and girdle. i was thinking about buying a ls b18b crank since its cheaper , easier to find , and gives it a slight displacement increase. i have a few questions :

- can i use the gsr main caps with the ls crank or do i need to find ls main caps ?

- if i can use the gsr main caps , can i use the girdle with no mods ?

- im guessing i need the gsr windage tray , gsr oil pickup, and gsr oil pan ?

- will using gsr sized rods push the pistons above the block ? ( meaning i need ls rods ? )

- is it recommended that i re use the oil squirters by bending it or should i jus get rid of it ?

thanks !

 

Dude this has been covered on here soooo many times! Search and you will find!

You have to remove the squirters and use LS rods...

 

Search!!! And fyi, NEVER swap main caps between blocks and never buy a block without main caps..

 

What he said, there are a couple of good threads on this already.

This one has some good info.
