Re: engine swap question
Plain out...
is the car your daily driver?
If so, I'd stay B. Finding axles or making your own is a pain when shit starts to break.
My cousin, my neighbor and my tuner all have H22 swapped cars.
It's more of a headache if/when something goes wrong.
Get a good set of mounts(I didn't click on the link). Thats the biggest thing with these motors is the placement.
My tuner has a h22 swap in his 95 vx. I can't remember what mounts he has but he put his a skunk2 manifold on it and we had to notch out parts of the firewall. Even stock the damn intake manifold would almost hit it.
Now. Granted. Skunk manifold. Stock TB. Intake. NICE Header and exhaust. Will net you right at 200 160.
The transmissions SUCK. Don't bang gears and they love you back. Bang gears and you will find yourself getting cables or a transmission.
IMO. I'd stay with the b-series. You do realize you can stuff a LS crank or gsr crank and turn your B16b into a ITR motor or a LSVTEC w/o the headache of external lines/no block girdle?
Either that OR. My stepfather will buy your B16b from you for his new DD.
