[QUOTE="CBFryman2, post: 2497949, member: 565445"] Why would you go from a stock motor to a slightly better stock motor? I do not see the logic in this. I'm not meaning this as an insult to you. Muscle car guys and import guys alike. why buy a stock big block motor and put it in your comaro when it is just a minor upgrade from a built small block. The same applies here. IMO, if you are going to do a swap start from the ground up only salvageing the block and things that wont increase performance or brake when it comes to something like the B-Series where parts are as cheap as candy. You can buy a B-series engine/block in GREAT condition that has had a good ammount of time to get worked in for $1000. (actually stronger than a $1500 freshly cast aftermarket block and more durablewith a greater margin for error than a $2400 aluminum block) You can build a B-Series putting over 200hp to the crank reliably NA for a decently small chunk of change.
