a k20 is WAYYYYYY more expensive than a b16a2 and the b16 have had more luck going turbo than almost ANY other honda block...

you could get 300+ out of one with a build for turbo and still have a street driveable car provided a quaife or comprable lsd.

The point is that IF this kid has access to this kind of money HE SHOULD NOT DUMP IT INTO A CAR... get a frigging apartment and pay the morgage for like 2 years and sell it for WAY mor than you paid or CD's or stocks whatever... by then you'll have evough experience to be making all these suggestions TO YOUR SELF.

Highlander:
you'd be MORE likely to replace the rods and pistons on a c5 then you would on a c1... c1's have lower compression and I believe they have the same rods.

Either way if your smart you replace WHATEVER pistons with forged ones and dome beefier than stock rods (a crank and full valve train wouldn't be so dumb either (especially stainless steel valves... don't wan't to burn up those stockers)).

Forget all this for the kind of free wheeling money spending OPAK is talking about he should just get a DART block and build that to the hilt. problem solved.
