Going oversize for the bottom end will help with torque but I think you need to be careful with the B18 as you might hit a water jacket due to the poor castings. Engine work isn't cheap.

Thanks for getting back to me.
I already have a 123 ignition and upgraded from single zenith to twin su's with a custome made inlet/outlet and straight through stainless exhaust system so i went from 60 hp to 80 so big improvment. i only have a 4 speed so i went for mid when getting the downpipes designed so after that grunt rather thsn the top end. I have a good guy who restores and builds engines. Has done a lot of work for Boyd Coddington, so lucky to know him!
