I have another complete head from a 98 ls and a 96 ls Block and I'm putting all the stuff from my old engine that I can use on it. I need to get the piston/rods, clutch/flywheel, and a few other things to put into my other block I have. I stouldn't have any problem putting the b18b block into my car and using the old b18a exhaust manifold should I? I hope not because It's already gonna cost me alot of money that I dont have to put the other engine together....
It should fit.. correct me if im wrong, but I think the paterns are the same. With the car not drivable, why dont you take exhaust manifold off and check? your going to have to at some point anyway... BTW: why did you let it overheat 4 times?? good luck! dont cut corners, you'll find yourself in the same situation again...
