Default Swapping blocks

I'm seriously considering stepping up my displacement by swapping my b16 block for a B20B block. Besides the gaskets, is there anything else I would need to mate the B20 block to the B16A head (other than what is currently being used on the B16 itself already)?

Does it take up more space?

How much heavier is it?

you would need an LS vtec kit. Do a search on B20 vtec or LS vtec there should be a shit load of threads on it

You need to build up the bottom end some to handle the rpms and extra power of the VTEC head.

So basically resleeve it and get some aftermarket rods and pistons? Maybe even balance the crank?

You have to balnce and everything. I t is neccessary. And then you have to tune ad all that. It will run you about 2000-3000 for the whole setup. BUt it will be a bitchin' setup and will run like hell. I mena if i had the moeny i would go CRVTEC TURBO. And run 11's easy all day long.
