I got 2 questions im thinking about a b20 swap in my ek now that my b16 is junk. The b20 is it a direct plug in swap and do i have to swap the intake manifold. |

I'm pretty sure it won't fit either, it sticks up very high. But you should swap it out for something better anyways, even a B18b manifold will be better. |

It depends what you want to do with it, there are advantages and disadvantages to consider adv- *torque/displacement *lighter block than B18 *cheap *plentiful dis- *weak bottom end (6mm cylinder walls vs. 9mm, which is why the B20 is lighter, and also why the upper cylinders like to crack in boosted/CRVTEC applications) *classified as a truck engine in most states, can cause you to fail vehicle inspection if they care to check *swapping IM to clear hood |
