B16A questions!!

okay i'm looking at B16A engines and there are three different like models or something the SiR I, the SiR II and XSi... the XSi and the SiR II seem to have a bit more HP and Torque but is there any other really big difference? Or are they just tuned differently? Any advice on which would be the best?

youre probably too far to ship it. asking for 600 picked up for a b18b1 block, b18b1 crank, 2 ls heads, 2 ls intake manifolds, 1 ls throttle body, 2 ls fuel rails with injectors, all nuts, bolts, bearings, hoses, sensors, mounts, brackets, pulleys, gears, and other odds and ends for the motor

yeah if you pay shipping costs. i shipped a d17 block and assembled head to louisana. i think it was around 70 bucks. youre probably looking at around 200 to freight it to texas plus the cost of the crate.

you need to put rods and pistons in it and assemble the whole thing. i have everything needed but the pistons and rods. technically speaking it has 0 miles on it because it has been machined. ive got 2 more boxes of parts for it that arent pictured.
