I live in Washington State and am considering the options for my Rex. One is the 300hp 20B theme. I'm in the feasability study phase now and could use your expert help.

How hard is it to get 20Bs in the US?

Where or who do I go to to get one?

What's the damage ($$$) really going to be for a rebuildable core?

Are there aftermarket computers that can manage a 20B?

 

OK guys. These can't be that hard to answer. Either you don't want to share your sources and info or you guys are full of BS. I'd hate to think that everyone here was lying about their 20B. I hate it when people brag about things they don't really have. It's like those internet daters who claim to be attractive, wealthy and active but have neither looks, job nor a life.
Little help please?!

 

now you sound like an idoit. GL getting your "info."
Plus, their an easy find.

 

Three days of waiting for an answer and I'm an idiot? This is an internet forum for people to use to get and share info. If with as many people are here I can't get at least a single responce I am left with only two conclusions: 1. No one knows the answers. 2. No one wants to share their answers. In the case of the first I'm left to conclude that most people here are lying which I would hope is unlikely. In the second case I would have to assume that 20B owners are elitists who will not tolerate questions from someone who doesn't already have the answers and/or an unlimited supply of money. So, which is it? Or is there someone who doesn't fit these two profiles who would like to help someone with honest and I think good questions?

Sorry I started a flame war. It was not my intent. Sometimes I come off strong. It's my personality right or as is sometimes the case, wrong. I'm fairly tollerable by most sorts.

These engines are not so easy to find here where they were never offered in a stock vehicle. I can get them through performance engine suppliers at $6K for a used unrefinished motor. Not a good deal at all. I'd pay up to $2K for a rebuildable motor plus shipping. $6K? No way. I can buy just about any other engine completely finished for $2-4K depending on the application.

 

When I was a kid, the best way to get 20 B's was to use an old mayonnaise jar and catch them as they buzzed around the orange tree.

The interesting thing about B's is that it is easier to attract them with honey than with vinegar. Er, flies, bees, people on this forum, same thing.

Well, I guess that settles it then. Good luck at the salvage yard.
