Port and polished, three angle valve job, decked b16 head. Skunk valvetrain, springs retainers flat faced valve stems. When i pulled the head off my block I noticed rust spots in cylinder 4 and some scoring throughout. I had the motor sitting for 2 weeks before I pulled the head. I plan to get good cams and cam gears. I need help on building a block. I would like to keep it a sleeper. Should I build my B16a block or should I go B20 block? What components do you recommend? I want a street/track daily driver. I'm shooting for 230 to 300 HP all motor. Thanks.

Um i'd put the b16 head on the b20 block and whoop ass! But i'm not you, so do you and good luck wit 230 to 300 hp N/a unless you got crazy money.... and if you do k series will get you there. Good luck on your build.

get the b20 block, the amount of torque difference between the b20 and b16 is a lot. I have a b20 vtec (stock block) with stunk2 valvetrain/pro 1 cams and all the bolt ons...the compression is around 9.6:1 and i made 200whp (230ish crank) and it makes power to 9K

A b20 block has about 30-40 percent more torque than a b16 block. That translates to faster power engagement from a stand still.
