need some info

Apr 1st, 2003, 05:31 PM

does anyone know if the SR20DE block is the same as the SR18DE block?
i want to know if i can swap the innards from a SR20 into an 18 with an overbor and a SR20 crank. from the outside the two engines are virtually identical.
why is this important? the SR18DE is about 1/3 the price of a SR20DE and about 1/8 the cost of a SR20DET.
anyone has any info email me at graphixdesk@ttol.co.tt

i would assume the SR18 is a 1.8L, not a 2.0L like the SR20.
