ok right now i have a B16A2 w/ a gsr tranny lined up for my civic
the only downside on this motor is that it has a little under 80k miles on it

i have the chance to get a LS/VTEC from one of the local shops here in chicagoland for the around the same price as my b16a (all i have to do is sell my b16 head & block and use the remaining parts on the ls/vtec head & block)

ive heard lots of mixed opinions about the ls/vtec motor
mostly they sound like this:
"well i heard that ls/vtec is FAST AS **** but is very UNRELIABLE"
that UNRELIABLE part is the only thing holding me back on this motor

also i have another opportunity to get an H22A put into my car
just so happens that my friend has one sitting in his garage!!
i havent gotten all the info about this motor yet (miles, year, etc)but i will this week

he tells me that he will take my b16 setup plus about a grand or so on top of it (he says he paid over 3k for the h22)

that doesnt sound too bad to me but it will put me about a month behind schedule (i had planned to use that money for the swap /tranny conversion)

so right now my options are:
1) stick with the b16a2
2) LS/VTEC
3) H22A

so if any has any advice i could sure use some right now

oh and in case anyone wanted to know
i plan to put in a turbo around next summer
