do the B20 long blocks I see from various online retailers (usually around $800) include the stock B20 head? I was under the impression that all you got was the block and internals. If that was the case, wouldn't it be just as easy to pick up a B16 head and go for the B20/vtec setup? How much do those go for, and how much would I be looking at in terms of extras (intake and exhaust manifolds, distributor, etc..)?

If I could peice it together for significantly less than the B18c, it'd be worth it, but it sounds like a lot of trouble.

I understand B20s dont cope with higher rpms very well either--long stroke and all... Not that I want a high-revving monster, but would this limit my ability to take advantage of the B16 head (i.e. ITR valvetrain, cams, intake and whatnot)?

thanks
