Default Help - b18a1 with a rod knock and a 400-500$ Budget to get back on the road.

HELP! - I am trying to get my Car Road Worthy!

Del Sol S that was converted to Manual and Swapped to a b18a by an unknown mechanic- the previous owner did not know anything about the build from the owner before so I am trying to save this thing and make it a driving car within my budget. -

I have a 450$ budget - Give or take - and a few local options that I found - Given my set up and budget - what option should I explore?

I want to use as much of what I have to keep it a B series car - but I have D series stuff laying around I could perhaps fall back on.



I have found B20B , a B20z , - a few B18B and a B16A in my local area within a possible budget - so I am unsure what route to go.

Get the B20B or B20Z block and move on, if this is for daily & "spirited" driving purposes. Don't rack your head against the wall. You don't have to downgrade (sorry D-series owners)

^^^ Seconded. You should be able to find another decent LS block just fine locally. Swap it in and mob.
