Are you looking for just the block, or an engine swap kit? You would be lucky to find a used B18C5 block for that price...


A new one (Say from Spoon or something) would cost you around 6-7K, I think...

I'm guessing a new, complete B18C5 from an Acura dealer would cost around $8k, give or take a couple thousand.:rofl:

they will keep making it till 2011 minimum
good luck finding a used one for that price

Shortblocks are $2800 new from acura, so you will pay much more than $3000.

a brand new b18c5 longblock (w/o tranny & ECU) costs about 4.5k from the dealership.
