A's dont bolt to B's!!

unfortunatly, A20 tranny won't bolt up to B20a block.
so here are your choices:
1. get another a20 motor and drop it in. preffered A20A3 motor for it's higher compression.
2. get a20a3 block, get A18a prelude cylinder head. drop the cylinder head on A20 block and add use eather prelude sidedrafters, or make custom dual weber sidedrafters setup. this setup will give you better power. for less money.
3. you can get A20 motor, some EFi parts and buy sean's GM ECU and you will have EFI car. later you can always turbo the car.

choices #2 and #3 will cost some money, but if you want cheap way. just drop A20a3 motor.
