I did NOT say that non-vtec blocks are worse, or that you can't make them vtec, i said i don't LIKE non-vtec blocks.

don't tell me to go inform myself more when i know what i'm tlaking about and i am going out and researching more. This is to ask you if the deal is worth it for what he is giving me, not if i'm making the best choice going with a b16 block.

I'm not brushing you off and i'm not telling you your skills suck, or you don't have good ideas, but they're not pertaining to my question.
Please just answer my question, and don't tell me wat's in my better interest, because you don't know enough to say what's going to be my better interest. I might not know alot about B18b's or b18a's but that's because I don't care for that engine.
