I have a dead b18a1, how I know for sure it's dead is the fact that there is a 1" x 2" hole in the block. I'm not sure yet if the head is damaged too or not. I have a few aquantances that have a b18b block that's just laying around and will sell it to me for 70 bucks.

question: Will a a1 head work on a b1 block. Also, the b1 block is bare and I'll need to get a crank, rods, pistons, oil pan, ect. Is there any certian combos to make for a good LS bottom end with out spending a crap load of money?

Thank you very much, and if any of you would like to discuss this topic you can IM me at mrdoveman via AOL, Compuserve, or AIM.
