    get rods and pistons. it would be worth the extra time if you really want to spray or boast.

    Okay, a little more info. The A20 started knocking pretty bad, and this dude in my car club was selling this for $200. I couldn't pass it up.

    Probably selling the turbo from earlier. Was hoping to boost the A, but it seems like its time has come.

    Anyway, I'm only keeping the bottom end. This is gonna be an LSVTEC, but whether I go with a B16 or B18C1 head depends on whichever pops up for cheap. Plans for the bottom end at the moment:
    -Get block machined and cleaned up
    -OEM crank, have it machined and knife-edged
    -ACL Bearings
    -ARP Rod Bolts
    -OEM rods, have them shotpeened
    -P30 pistons
    -ARP Head Studs
    -Eagle LSVTEC kit
    -I'll figure out plans for the head once I can pick one up.
    Wow. sorry to hear about your A20 that sucks. So close to being boosted.you can't keep a good man down. You'll get it right don't give up
