Default B20 built with B16/B18c1 head...

I'm going to put b16a2 in my Civic. Next week i'm buying this engine. But i've heared about that B20 built with B16/B18c1 head..., and i'm wondering what kind of power this b20 will have only after changing head and what kind of money change of head would cost. Generally : Does it worth it ?? And does only changing of the head do the work ??

It puts up really good numbers if done right. It will have the most torque of any honda motor you can throw into a civic (easily).

Check out the millions of posts on LS/VTEC and research it. That is what is involved in swapping a VTEC head onto a non-VTEC block.

prices vary on where you get your parts and who you get to build it for you
