I had allot of fun with my 6b motor. But got tired of no torque. Put the head on the gsr block and use the R trans. Compression will be a little low but thats gonna be your quickest setup. If no mixing, then displacement >.

my vote is the GSR with the CTR trans.

perhaps swap the CTR cams into the GSR for a little power bump... then sell the CTR and GSR trans...

More oem goodies with the b16b. I say ctr swap and build a b20 block on the side, then swap in the future. Isnt the b16b less $ than the gsr swap?

I wouldnt think so if its from an importer. GSR will give displacement and save a few bucks that could be used for upgrades.

Best answer....mix and match!!

Use the GSR shortblock, with the CTR complete cylinder head, plus CTR tranny, brace and flywheel
