And also, nothing that is built is gonna be as good as oem reliability, period.

YOu build a motor to beat the shit outta it, not for longetivity.


Ah got it.

Yeah, I can say a good seventy-five percent of the people who complain about failing frankenstein swaps are just idiots when they build it. With that swap there are quite a few more different variables that must be taken into consideration (such as oil supply)

And no, it will never get near OE reliability, but damnit a good builder can get close.

Totally agreed. Some guys are awesome builders, while others will make the motor worse than with the p75 head lol

b20 is a GREAT setup for N/A, however as we all said in the earlier posts, you need to make sure that you are using a reliable engine builder and youneed to make sure he is using the correct precautions that are needed in building a frankenstein motor.
