Default Stay B16 or go B20??

I would like everyones opinion on this subject and why if posible.

Okay, I have a 95' B16a3 motor in my sol with 52k miles on it. Now, Should i Trade in my motor +100 bucks for a 99' 00' B20 motor with 30-40k on it? Also i would be using my b16 Tranny and getting a Skunk2 IM and using a LS exhaust manifold. Its done professionaly also at a shop, so no ghetto riggin. What are the pros and cons on this swap?

con # 1 is the fact that the b20 is an obd2 motor
pro #1 torque
con# 2 no vtec
pro #2 b16 tranny = big motor, small gears
thats all i can think of right now

the b20 being odb2 is no big deal. You just run it with a different ecu... But still, you'd be ebtter off getting a b18 block and slapping your head on it... That or go crvtec.

i thought of saying that too but then i read it and he said he was trading his motor, did not know if he had the cash to get into a b18 or the crvtec..if you have the flow i would just turbo or supercharge the b16

Default CRVtec

Considering a long block can be purchased for under a grand for the b20, im thinking of dropping in the b20/vtec into my sol (currently d16z6 sohc), what is the best head to use? b18c?
