Just make sure you have the distrubutor that goes along with the Vtec head you chose to use along with the intake manifold. Along with what you have listed above about the only thing you would be missing is a Vtec ecu. Del sol vtec would be a nice ecu to go with so you dont have to run some generic bullshit chip on a P28. You should be able to put it all together for cheaper than a GSR swap and then you also need a trans. I would go with B16 or a GSR trans. Ls trans will just be slow. And lastly i wouldnt spend money on the girdle that is highlighted in the previous posted pic unless you were planning on revving past 8500k rpm. I mean its kinda cheap insurance but its not a have to. Ive seen tons hold together great with just the rod bolts. Up to you on how much money you wanna spend and how much power you wanna make.
so.. lsvtec?..
im thinkin of buyin this ls block for 50 bucks from a friend and a b16 head?...
would this be worth my time and money?
any suggestions tips etc...

now the problem is whether to buy the block sittin at my friends house.. or the head that this dude might have sold soon.. i think im gonna go for the head.
also.. my friend says one of the pistons is outta line or somethin like that.. we looked at it and the 2 on the outside are about 4mm different give or take a few.. (it was last week when i looked at it)
Heads are alot harder to find so i would pick that up first. As far as the block i would just look for a complete LS or B20 longblock. This way you get a more complete engine and know its hasnt been torn apart and may be fucked up.
lol
the funny thing about that is.. my friend thats sellin the ls block.. has a b20 complete motor sittin in his garage lol

Well get that shit man. Putting together a B20 vtec isnt any different than a LSvtec. B20 vtec with some forged high compression pistons and some nice cams and valve train will make great power.Deentwon said:lol

^^^ Only thing different are the bore (size) of the pistons. Everything else will be the same part #'s as an LS. Also you dont have to change the B20 oil pump cause it uses the same part number as a GSR oil pump.

thats all i can think of off the top of my head, but that will give you a good starting point for a well put together lsvtec. keep in mind that most people who do a built like this will want to go with aftermarket parts such as cams, intake manifold, throttle body, or headers. also, if youre going to be porting and polishing the head, now would be the time to do it.
im not trying to deter you from building and lsvtec set up. i just want you to realize that its not quite as simple as some people think. its not like turbo'ing a d series. this is a pull-your-hair-out, make-you-or-break-you kind of build.
