B20's have thinner cylinder walls where ls has thicker and therefore its stronger than a b20. It also depends what you wanna do with it? I mean turbo or all motor? for turbo setup you would have to re-sleeve the b20. I have friend who is running 14psi on a stock ls motor and
it still runs strong. For all motor setup most people would choose b20.

Yea and they're are 20+ different 'legit' lsv or b20v threads and they're all filled with 'legit' opinions and 'legit' experiences that all contradict eachother. Many people have done these setups with different result and its all how you build, tune it and treat it.
Listening to people on this site will only make your decision harder, you've got one guy saying he's got a bone stock b20v beatin the **** out of it to 9k for the past year no problems and another guy sayin he babied his,didn't bring his engine over 7k and it blew up.
In the end BOTH blocks have HUGE potential and they have the same casting/crank so if you plan on sleeving/boring a LS is fine.
As said earlier this is another "take my hand and show me the way" thread. Unfortunatly the people on this site have 20 different "proven" opinions/experiences that will take you 20 different ways and your only gonna have your own opinion in the end.
Take some time, think about what you want out of the car and BUILT IT RIGHT AND IT WILL LAST

I was refering to all post on the subject, and it was a bad joke that's why no one found it funny.
This subject has been beaten like a dead horse it is way too opinion ridden. In the end both platforms have potential and if you build it right it will do you good

To the OP, this has been covered HUNDREDS of times on various forums, so a little research can point you in the right direction. If you can read these posts, you can take the time to read some other posts that actually give technical and factual information that will lead you a better conclusion.
