Rebuilding a B power plant is no more expensive than rebuilding any other 4-banger, and considerably less than alternatives with more cylinders.

I was really wanting a four cylinder replacement, probably 1.8 liter or there abouts. I wouldn't avoid an option that gives more power, but that's not my goal.
