You're telling me. I've seen two B17As in the last year, both about $2300. You can make a B17A shortblock out of a B16A shortblock for about $1400, since the deck heights are the same. The other thing is that the B17A has the best intake manifold for high RPMs. So ideally, I'd like to find a coplete B17A, but I have a feeling I'll be making my own out of a B16A. Keep an eye out for a crank for me, too.
