They are sold in longblock form only, due to the layout of the CRV transmission. Average pricing is around $850.
A B20B/Z can be replicated by resleeving and boring a B18A/B out to 84mm.
i have a 91 crx si...the clutch or syncro or something is gone...i'm looking at a $400 minimum fix. i am grinding really bad when shifting into 2nd and 3rd. it also grinds in reverse. i don't want to fix it. i'd rather just spend that money towards a swap. so you recommend the crv motor (b20) with what tranny? what ecu? thanks. i want to autox, drag and street race this thing at a reasonable cost. i don't want to justify spending $500 for 1-2HP. if it's worth the money...i'll spend it, but i don't want to go overboard. dollar for dollar...what's ideal? thanks a lot for your help in this. btw...what does the /z mean in b20b/z
any other recommendations? thanks guys.
