Question about an engine buildup.

[b16a2]

Hey, I've got a friend witha B18B motor, and as you may or may not know, they're a non-VTEC motor...

Now I am curious, could he take the VTEC head off of a b18c1 motor, and put it on the B18b Block?

Also, what kind of internals are there for a b18b motor that will develop about 200 @ The flywheel?

Also, if he were to put the b18c1 head onto the b18b motor, would it just bolt right on? Or is there more work to be done than that? Does anything have to be machined?

A b18b motor with i/h/e will be about 145@flywheel right?

Will the head, cams, cam gears, ignition, and higher-compression pistons (maybe 10.5:1) put him int he neighborhood of 200?

Thanks very much!!!

Actually, before V.4, I was here since I think about March or April of 2001. I had about 500 posts I think.

I have lost interest in SHO though for awhile, as I have been on a local board for more of my time.

Whereabouts in Canada are you? I too like to see Canadians dominating web boards!

Thanks again for the info, sorry if I was of any trouble.
