The gentleman who began this thread was talking about materials on hand- b18 head, b20 block. If price is no object, then by all means spring for the latest and most expensive parts; it's pretty obvious that those will work the best.

Yup, that's indeed the case here. I think we all know that a B18 head suits a B18 block the best, and the B20 head realy belongs to the B20 block. But that does not mean that interchanging parts can't be done. (although I would never fit a B20 head onto a B18)

Even though it might not be the best setup you could think off; the B18 head on the B20 might still be a better engine then the B18 as it is at current (with it's worn pistons & cilinders).

Anyway, I'll see what I decide on. If I do go ahead, I'll post the results, hopefully it runs like a raped ape aswell ;) LOL...

Thanks and cheers, Ben
