just ordered my long block today from hmotors -

i will have
b16a head - mild ported and polished, milled
b20b block - gettin balanced
stock b16a valves and cams
16lb flywheel
act HD PP
custom made clutch disc
b16a oil pump
b16a water pump
gsr arp head studs
all the bolt ons on my head, intake manifold, blah blah...etc...etc...

what do u think of this setup - i'm keepin the stock bottom end i think a 7500 redline will suffice me enough

anything else i would need for this?

 

be sure to have them clay the tolerance between valves and pistons(if they don't do this as common practice).

 

and if possible have them enlarge the valve reliefs for added safety if need be

 

you will probably cut the pistons for valve clearance. Make sure you put the oil feed line on. Also, when you build this setup correctly, you can have a 8500 redline, and on the dyno, the setup still makes power past 8500.

 

Why did you buy a long block?

 

go for eagle rods, and the 4340 eagle cranks for that kind of a set-up etc. if you're getting engine balance. they're pretty good for that kind

 

cause i couldnt just find the block, i had to buy a long block, i know about the reliefs in the pistons - and the clayin the motor, all this has to be done...i just picked up my clutch today, dayum it looks sweet....i'll post some pics later, it cost me 221 with bearings and everything...not to bad for a 6 puck sprung clutch...
i've got to see the head from the b20 anybody interested??
