I was wondering where people would recommend going when looking for a built B18A Block. My plans are to run a B16A VTEC Head on a built B18A Block to handle my anticipated 13+ lbs of boost. It is going to be driven a lot so I’m looking for reliability as well as DECENT Drivability. I was looking at a JG redline series B16A Head (Redline Series heads including full port and polish, comp valve job, new valve stem seals, comp springs, T 7075 aluminum retainers, resurfaced or milled up to .040, hot tanked and cleaned, swirl polished stock valves, polished chambers). What do other people think of this? Has anyone heard anything good or bad about JG? As for the Block, is there any company that you would recommend going with? Let me know what you think! Thanks

Go to www.importbuilders.com and tell them Notorious sent you and they will build the baddest block you have ever seen. 489whp @ 17 lbs IB motor
are you on a budget or is it “spend what it takes” do you have about 10-12 grand to spend on this motor or??

I’m looking toward spending about $4000 for the build up. But I won’t have the money for the turbo until next summer.
