I know I'd vote B18 or B20. I love my engine. But research it and decide for your self.

No way i can deal with salesmen! The reason i was considdering the B swap was there were Hasport mounts for sale for 300 $. i've since come to the conclusion that the cheapest way to get this done is to find a good D series, i have a line on a ZC with a fresh top end rebuild. I am looking for a small turbo for this project along with al the other stuff...MSD FMU Intercooler 450 cc injectors etc... I looked at the additional costs of doing the B series and i can probably turbo the ZC for less that the cost of a B swap!!
Thank you all for the input. Jack i did consider fabricateing everything as you suggested but the time and effort required would piss of my wife as i would be living in the garage for a week.

there I thought you'd forgotten about us. Im glad you decided to stick with the same engine although another member with a b swap is always a good read.
