B20a = prelude oldschool POS motor, you cannot even mount a VTEC head on there IIRC. Unuseable.

B20b, 1st gen CRV, useable motor.

B20z, 2nd gen CRV, more power, higher compression, useable motor.
Ya this is the b20a.....mounts are not straight and things like that.....If someone wants it let me know and you can get it....

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. A b20a is a VERY different motor than a b20b/z like Cory has. So before you make statements like that figure out what you are talking about.

Now the crank in a b20a is 95mm and dimensionally will bolt into other b-series blocks. With the right piston rod combo a 2.1+L can fit into a b18a/b/c block w/ a rod ratio of 1.48:1 or so. Good enough for a drag motor that is going to see constant rebuilds. So if the crank is good and you wanna build a race motor then buy it.

I do know what I'm talking about I didnt realize he was talking about that old B20 from the early (90-91) prelude.I didnt think anyone was trying to swap that motor I know it sucks.I thought he had a crv motor in a prelude.
