I think im going to b20 swap my 94 teg and rebuild the b18 and make a bike carb'd intake for it and put it in the 79
Good luck trying to stuff a B series into it. It's gonna be too wide unless you cut off the front end and make a custom tube frame for it.

Meh they fit dual cam zc's nicely
It's the width that will kill you not to mention you'd have to go in from the bottom along with getting a single channel crank pulley for it just for space. Even with all of that you still have to do a lot of massaging and cutting to get the engine to fit correctly. It can be done but I don't think it's worth the effort over a D series. Not to mention the car came stock with like 50-60hp so a bump to over 100hp is going to be crazy. There's no easy way to get suspension and brake parts for these older cars to handle a huge increase over stock power like a B series at 130-200hp either.

Yea your right I forgot the space difference going single cam to b18 ls in my ef hatch, back to d16a6 it is ! And by the way the stroked/cammed 1.3 in it made 109 dyno proven hp in 1993 lol made 59hp stock

Thanks I am very happy with it thus far, prob not firing it up till sunday, I took the old cracked radiator out to put back in a full aluminum one (put the first one in a 96 coupe that had a cracked radiator when I got it) , and took out a bunch of half ass wiring I did a few years ago to repace it with clean correctly done stuff
