Ok a friend of mine just got a nisssan maxima and he is willing to cut me a huge deal on all his honda stuff.

he had a 1992 acura integra with an si motor in it. The only problem is the tranny is gone. Other then the b16 he also has a b18b block and another si head to go with it. He said he will give me all of it for a grand. The car the 2 blocks and the 2 heads. He said that there is no tranny because the b16 block did not come with one and the ls tranny blew. He said both blocks would have to be built.

no cracks or anything like that either.
Is this worth it. I would think so he says he has no use for it any more but wants to help build my motor up. How much would it cost to build a ls/vtec if i have the block and heads and only need the tranny? Worst case senerio what if the parts are in bad shape but not cracked or anything is it cheaper to buy from hmotrs or just build from what i have.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!

ps. also im driving a 2000 ek and trying to go turbo in the near future. aiming for around 250-300 whp. ls/vtec my best bet or should i go b18b keeping in mind the parts i have.
