Second generation B16A longblocks only go for around $900. Unless he really needs an American market motor, $1500 for a B16A2 longblock is absurd.

For some reason people are really opposed to slapping a B16 in a DC but they do it in DA's all the time. :dunno:

As for "frankensteining" your car with no mods to the block, no I wouldn't recommend it. You need to rev the motor to take advantage of the power a VTEC head will provide and a stock LS block is not exactly the most happy to oblige in doing that.
