I stumbled across a pretty cheap B18b long block for sale and I was wondering if it would be worth my time to pick it up or not, since my GSR has the b17a. What parts are compatible between the two? I need a new oil pan anyway, so I figured I could use that and any other compatible parts. Anything else I don’t need I could sell, and probably break even on the whole deal. So what exactly is interchangeable between a b18b and a b17a? Is it going to be worth my bother to do this or not? Thanks in advance…
Anybody? I’m thinking this long block might be worth my time, but I’m not sure if the stuff I need is compatible…
im sure u could use same alternater,exhuats manifold, might need differnt brackets for power steering, mounts are the same i think well at least ur b17 ones would bolt to block, why do u want this u could prolly do a ls/vtec but i think b16 heads are better to use i dono i dont get into that i have a b18c1 right now and i love it.
why dont u sell me the b18b
I’m not using the B18b in my Integra, I just thought it would come in handy for spare parts. I’m sticking with the B17 VTEC powa that I have now. 
I thought I could pull off some of the parts that I need from the B18b, and part out the rest of the engine for spares, if it would be worth my time.
As far as selling the b18b, how much would you give for it? I"m just trying to get an idea of what the parts are worth, and if I could get my money back out of it. The guy I’m talking to wants $300 for the long block. The b18b has about 80k on it. Do you think I could get my money back out of it, if i parted it out?
maybe if u parted it out the only things that will really give u good cash is crank and the head but it all depends sometimes ppl need odd things and can make alot of money but its a ls not a vtec motor so ur not gonna make alot compared to a b16 or gsr
Yeah. I know I’m not gonna get tons of money for it, but as long as I can make enough back to pay for it, I figure why not. How much do you think the crank and head are worth if I were to sell them on here or ebay them?
USE IT FOR LS/VTEC!@!!! hahahahaha or send it to me and I will give you my old b17 block… sound fair?
