Hey guys,

I was wanting 2 know in a Type R block, if it was possible to swap a LS crank in place of Type R crank? Is there enough clearance in the R block for the LS swap. I've heard that LS/Vtec with Type R head makes more HP & TQ, but I'm trying to find an alternative solution upon not trying to trade bottom ends, but still be able to acheive the gains. If it's possible would it be worth the trade for more HP and TQ and still be able 2 use stock pistons or be better 2 also upgrade to some Toda, JE, or Skunk 2 pistons & rods? Help????

Reason I'm asking is because I used 2 have an LS/Vtec 00 Si, and have great success with the motor and then about a year later experience a whole lot of problems with the motor. My mechanic sd it's shit out cause of the LS block didn't have oil squirter's for the pistons..... Wanted 2 find out on what's best and not recommended to experiment with? For the time being the da R is my daily driver until this summer- when I pick up my beater. Thanks.....
