what is my best option here?

- Mon Nov 23, 2009 2:55 pm #157993 ok so i would like to have this done by the end of the winter and back on the road by like spring or summer so here we go. i currently have a h22 with a h2b kit on it i have another block that i was gona ship off and have built but with sleeves and machine work by darton. once they get done ass raping me just the block is gona be arround 2000.00 dollars. i was seriously thinking about going k20 but i just dont know if that is feasable. with money and all i mean lets face it short of hitting the lottery my pocket is gona be screaming. so then i have been looking at the b18c type r 98 spec. its a newer engine, better walls then the h22 so i would only have to sleave if i wanted boost. and i already have a 2000 si trans so i would only need a engine. what is everyones thoughts on this. if you have another engine selection please chime in i would like to hear as much advice as i can get before i rush out and just start buying shit that as an end result will either not make me happy in the long run or just aint worth the money.

I say stick with the current setup. If you don't get the next block done, you'll still have an H22 EG which is already bad ass :thumb:

Projects always take longer than expected... stick with it :thumb:
