B20b vs. B20z n/a applications & pricing
 

Is there much of a significant difference between these 2 engines? They're both 2 litres, but does the higher compression on the z make much of a difference?
How much does the long blocks go for for these 2 engines?

B20B- 2.0L DOHC non-VTEC- 96-98 CR-V (126hp)
B20Z- 2.0L DOHC non-VTEC- 99-01 CR-V (143hp)

i know what the specs say, but has anybody here actually did the swaps and compared if there is significant differences?

I don't think anybody's wasted time swapping a stock B20b or z into their car. And anybody with those blocks is using it for a CR-VTEC, and is running aftermarket pistons anyway.
