This is what I got so far. I have the GE Girdle Kit to help the bearings out somewhat and suppose to prevent crankwalk? I dont know I just got it to be safe. Also went with the GE block guard. But I haven't ordered that yet. I want to get some more opnions. I think ive spent like 2K on the block alone already and its not even assembled yet.
Everything new.

-Shotpeened the ls rods and had them press the b16 pistons on the ls rods since they fit without shaving. $134.00 (don't remember exscact price)
-Getting the crank micropolished tommorw morning $115.00
-Water pump/oil pump (ITR) $250.00 for both (my discount)

-SS oil pan. $320.00
-Bolts and nuts/misc gaskets like oil pan gasket, oil pan bots/nuts,water pump gasket etc... $est. $60.00 brand new from dealership

Thats about it for the block. Iam starting to discourge myself now that I just figured out how much ive spended and still have to go. HAHAH.
I already have the b16 head and gsr tranny that are both in great shape.
The head work iam looking at another 1500.00 going with a portflow or ferra again vavletrain with itr intake cam. But iam thinking of going with some crazier cams just go for it. And since i will have the setup for it already. Wish me good luck this is only first B series motor ive built myself. But have some really good knowledgeable honda mechanics and my work helping me on the way. Thanks for your time. B)
