Default LS Vtec

I have a b16 and I'm thinking about doing ls vtec. What block do you think I should get. And anyone else who has done ls vtec can you tell me everything that has to be done to make it last!

well if you want to do and LS vtec swap, that means your using an integra LS motor, the b18b. Ls vtec would set you up nicly for boost. CRVvtec set ups are not all that impressive, and your likly to pay more finding a b20 block due to it not being as common. Selling the b16 block could be tricky, but you best bet will be to post it on ebay, and turbo forums like homemadeturbo.com, as a block will appeal to those looking to build one up.

DUDE LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET.

Do a search in these forums, it has been covered.
Go to Hmotorsonline.com, they are a good place for motors, and that will give you an idea of what you will be paying.
