Kai - i appreciate your help but you need to catch up
i decided to go with LS-VTEC
bought a head and pistons, now its on to the build. not buyin cams or anything else like that, just gonna build the motor with my b16a head and pistons, if i decide i want more power afterwards, ill worry about it then.
my current plan is to use stock rods shot peened, with ARP rod bolts like white-n-slow recommended to me, if you know that is a bad idea, please let me know so i can plan accordingly before i start gettin my hands dirty.
oil starvation is also why i was asking about oil pan, pump, etc.... i want to do this right the first time so i dont have to tear it all apart once its in the car to build it a 2nd time
