Hey OP,
I'm in the same situation as you. I have 2 motors sitting my garage atm , D16y4 and B18c7. I'm about to get my license back after 1 year 3 months, which has given me enough time to collect for a project or a s2k. I decided on the em1 as I would not have the balls to trash a s2k on the track. Plus this gives a b16a2 for free if you get what i mean.
Well to your point. I have deiced on the b18c7 swap. Not because of the cost involved or anything. You said you were 19 so your on Greens?? It would be great if i could drive around in a k24 and what not added to motor. Put once pulled over there goes a red sticker for nothing being engineered, then rego cancelled and what not. I have been off the road for too long to through any more hassles.
And the tops is I can build the b18c7 while i cruise around with the b16a2 for now. This is just my view of it. Everyone's life is different.
The way I see it, Quotes which i have got (2 of these business have posted on here) its not cheap.
My plans have changed to build the head of the b18 and just replace whats needed to overhaul the bottom end. After my 2 years off my greens, I'll be selling off the b18 and building a k20/k24 as a daily in the em1, also would be swapping the current b16 to my lil brothers ej6 so he can have some fun driving a slow car before he steps up.
Of course my 1st goal is suspension and handling 1st! Before I even touch the motor(even thou I already ordered head parts for the b18 lol)
