And then just turn around and buy a b18c1 right?

Because i was wondering how hard do you think it would be to find a b17a1 block ... any ideas, like a % chance?

If the block is in good shape (wont know till i get the shop to open it up) then i may just get them to get the parts and do it from there (REBUILD!!!!), but if its shot ill try to talk to you about getting a b18c1
