2. an essentially as new as can get rebuilt engine from bottom end up for the stroker kit?

I can definitely see the advantages of #2
i've seen b18c7's going for the 6-7k mark with the fancy shmancy transmission. add maybe 1500 to swap it out, plus the money you get on selling the b16a, and who knows, you may get the lot done for $6k...

the toda racing website lists the stroker kit as $5280.00. Add the labour charges of a trustworthy engine builder, and you're probably looking at closer to $10k all up.

anyway... what happens when you stick a stroker crank into a b16a block, i'm imagining that the r:s ratio suffers a tad.
