Default b20 vtec crx

I found a site where i could get a fully built b20z block for like 2000! I was wondering is it possible for me to put that in my crx with my b16 head? I really want to do this. I can only imagine how much faster my car would be in a stripped 88 hf crx! What do you guyz think?

If you insist on going Crvtec you better be sure that the shop builds relaible motors. Trust me, if the engine isn't assembled 100%, kaboom is the result.

my friend has one in his hf crx and it handles quit well. you just have to get some much stiffer than stock springs.

I dont think the b20 is much heavier than a b16. After all, it is still a bseries block. I wouldn't sweat any weight issues, they will be minimal. If you are running a b20vtec, you should have suspension uprgrades anyway because that thing is gonna haul ***!
