B series motor help

well i'm wantin to rebuild a motor so i can put it into an older civic or integra later this year. And i found a B16 block from a 95 del sol. the block has all the internal parts Crankshaft, bearings, pistons, rods, oil pan, so i bid on that block on ebay. and i was curious what else do i need to make the whole motor ... just a head right and valve cover. along with ecu, axles, motor mounts, wiring.

you will need the head/valve cover, ecu, motor mounts, wiring, TRANSMISSION!, and maybe some other parts like the intake and exhaust manifolds, fluid reseviors, etc. You may or may not need the axles, depending on what type of car you drop it into. If you are just making the engine, then all you should need is the block and the head, but that doesn't mean it will run. Is it a B16A3?

That would require mad work. Port, polish will help. You would want some better vavles and springs, and change the compression. If you are going turbo, talk to catalyst or boosted2k2 for info on how to change your motor to handle more boost. Or get honda-tech.com they should help you better.

You will also need a distributor and should probably look into a msd ignition due to the turbo setup.
