i was in the same situation as you. bent a valve and was faced with a question of swapping an ls or buy another d series. for me i just went with a d series kuz it was cheap i was tight on cash and didnt want to deal with the hassle of emissions in socal

The LS just makes more sence to put in. First of all you dont have to waste time and money builing it.. its already there, all you have to do is swap it in. Then once its in just save up enough for a vtec head and turn it into an lsvtec.
