supposidely the b16b block is just like the b18c block.Which allows the b16b to use a better rod to stroke ratio because of the taller deck height.

so do i need to be worried about clearance if i get the stroker kit since b16b has taller deck height? or should i just get a b18c since the stroker kit for the b16b makes it a 1.8L.

You are right on... The B16B block is the same as a GSR/ITR.... It doesn't necassarily yield a R/S better than a B16A but just higher.. It's actually higher than you want, ~1.85 as the B16A has a near perfect 1.74... I love the B18C... It's near 1.6 R/S is perfect for me.. If you get a B16B block rip it's internals out and drop a GSR/ITR crank and rods into it... Then you got the cool B16B stamp with a 1.8L motor... I would sleeve it up to 85mm then you got a 1.98L motor... Good Luck in whatever path you take... Latez
