i did my b20 vtec about 6 months ago.

stock b20z shortblock, b16 head. b20/ls timing belt, and a lsvtec oil line kit, and new b20 head gasket, and i was done. tuned on crome by me, gets 27 city/32 hwy.

ls tranny, in a 96ex coupe, I out ran a gsr swapped hatch with bolt ons.

EVERY MOUNT from the 96 fits, minus the driver side mount, the rear t thing, tranny, all the same on a 96 civic and a b series engine.
