Reuse everything off your LS.

Just look at the B20 and B18 motors on that website and you can see. I couldn't upload the images because they're 900kb each.

Sup JOE!!!!!
Basically if you buy a b20 motor all you need to do is use your LS
Intake manifold
Distro
injectors
alternator
and harness
Basically everything that is hooked up to your LS Plus your flywheel and clutch since the b20 is off a AUTO. It's extremly easy swap. Nothing hard at all. Nothing to re wire or anything. I don't think your motor is messed up nor your cams. It would take at lease 1,000,000,000miles to wear them down. goodluck. If you need anything pmme

For the PVC you can take off the rear breather box on the ls and add it to the B20 and that's it.

The PVC system on your LS goes from the manifold throw the injector side of the manifold then down to a black box in the back of your block right under the manifold. Just swap it out of the LS into the B20. I know your like WTF I need to know this but once you start getting into the swap everything will come to you really fast and really easy.

It's not rocket science...it's the easiest swap you could do besides putting in another LS.

Sweet Thanks guys! I really appreciate the help, I'm going to buy the B20 and I'll get pics of the swap as soon as I get it. It won't be for a few months so be patient. I know I could be a bit of a headache, but thanks again!
