Total cost, whole shabang, what kinda money are you talking about for a vtec swap onto an ls block. Would it be worth it?

its called the frrankenstein engine, hunda tuning & thuper street had a real in-depth article about it several months ago. it might still be up on one of their sites

 

1400 for parts and labor...u probably want to get a gsr/si tranny...new a ex ecu...with a programmed chip or hondata...get new injectors...also

 

You'll need to rebuild the motor...IMO.. just slapping on the vtec head will not be sufficient... just doing that should run you about $1400 as mentioned, but you will be stuck with the LS pistons 9:1 or 9.2:1... when a GSR runs 10:1 You prolly won't even be as fast as a GSR with that low compression ratio.

You'll nned to swap your rod bolts for ARP units as well... a GOOD LSVT setup will run you about $2K - $2.5K.
