I've pretty much decided on the B20Z for my swap this summer... so I'm trying to get my shopping list and to-do list all straightened out.

So here are my questions:

Will I be able to shut my hood with the stock B20Z intake manifold? (not the giraffe intake mani of the B20B, but the one with the big plastic resonator on top). I don't plan on sticking with this intake mani, but depending on cash flow, I may need to settle for it at least temporarily.

If the stock intake manifold doesn't fit under the hood, what others will fit? I know the LS manifold fits, but what about B16, B18c5, skunk 2, and so forth? (I'm pretty sure the gs-r one wont bolt up)

BTW: I drive a '92 civic VX.

 

If you want a picture of what I'm talking about, check out the B20 pic on hmotors or look here under B20 tech.

I also have a neuspeed strut bar, if that matters.

 

why do you want to use the b20 manifold anyway?!?! use the LS intake manifold.

 

I may not have much money left over for additional parts after paying for a longblock, t-belt & water pump, tranny (gotta have LSD) axles, linkages, clutch, flywheel, ecu, and the whole rigamarole. Thats why I'm asking.

I know what would be "optimal," so no need to tell me that. Please just answer my questions if you have any insight.
