I have a few questions about b series motors..

I have all the internals form my old b18c from my gsr.. I no longer have the motor itself... if I buy a cheap old 1st gen b16 block, is there any reason I couldnt put all the 1.8l internals in and have a b18c again?

or would I be better off getting a bare b18a/b/c block??

is there any diferance in the block itself betwenn b18a and b18b?

is a b20 crank and b18c crank the same? (the only dif. is the bore I believe?)

the parts will not fit in a b16a.
they will fit in any b18a/b/c
b20b/z crank is same a b18a/b

 

u can have a put gs-r crank in a b20 block but im not sure what all that intails, but i know a guy who has that in his b20 vtec also has the gs-r head on it

 

b18c crank can go into any b18a/b/c 20b/z but it has to be with the gsr rods

 

Building that motor would require that you have pistons made that raise the the wrist pin 7mm higher than they are know so that the piston is down 7mm then its at the same aspect as it was in the gsr block, otherwise the piston would stick out whe block or smash the head. you would also have to make it a smaller skirt on the bottom. kno you have a low low stroker motor with piston that cost you around 650.00 wy cheaper than a gsr block.
