Everything I have read says that the K's are much better platform than the old B/H series engines. I haven't seen it first hand, but everyone says they respond better to things as simple as bolt-ons better than the old engine. You also have to remember that a B series engine hasn't been produced since 2001. Eventually they will be phased out by the K's as soon as more of the K cars end up in junkyards. To me this looks like a transtions period between the old and the new. Personally, I can't wait for the new
