a'ite guys, here's the deal. I currently have a del sol with the original b16 in it and the other day i bought a b18a1 block and now it's sitting in my basement. my question is, what should i do first for a reliable ls/vtec? I work for nissan but they also have honda dealerships so i get honda parts really cheap. what do you all think i should do??? all opinions are welcome but please explain why you think i should do what you recommend. thanks

Goals and budgests would be nice. You can just replace all the bearings and gaskets on the motor and call it a day or you can have the block bored/sleeved, forged pistons rods etc... Or you can go in between and use OEM parts etc....

This is probably one of THE MOST covered topics ever. SEARCH!

if you want to stay with oem parts get all oem bearings and gasketts and a set of p30 pistons and call it a day...
