    Built 1.8L Options: 99-00 Vs. '01+ VVT

    Was waiting for your input in this thread. Thanks for the info, two of the things I am still debating are cam specs, and how much to shave off the head.

    To be honest, even a 10.5:1 is plenty enough for my hp goals. Will do more research before start chopping stuff from the engine.

    The only thing I will get from the 01-05 VVT block is the cylinder head valve cover components and oil pan with corresponding main bearing support plate.

    Then build a high compression engine with a 94.5-95 block or Mazdaspeed block

    What are the differences between blocks?

    If you want to turbo the 94.5-95 or mazdaspeed block you have a coolant and oil source already built in under the exhaust manifold
