      The more interesting question would be a DOHC B6 head on a B3 block. But at that point, you might as well just do a Miata/Capri DOHC B6 swap instead.

        And then once you do the DOHC B6 swap you find out that you basically have a turbo-ready motor with oil and coolant drains already there and you gather turbo parts to swap in. Its all downhill as soon as you start thinking swap.

          A DOHC B3 head would be a very rare cyl head if that's truly what it is

          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

              B6D head won't fit without major machining.

                You mean this one?



                Here's the link:


                In addition to a "way high price" with shipping being an additional cost, I don't think the valves or cams are even included!? It says "as is in the picture"

                  Wow what a paperweight. Id ask him why he thinks its worth anything in such a useless state.

                  Wonder if B6D valves/springs/cams would work.

                    coool i didnt know there were B3 DOHC, that price sucks though but i would get that if i had the money but with cams and valves installed on it already.
