go to robearracing.com.... they sell an LS vtec kit. it comes with a headgasket and a few other simple things needed. i believe its like 250 or so dollars. that's the best way to go in my opinion.

Last time I checked it was about 1k for the LS/VTEC kit.

Do I think 1k for VTEC is worth it? No.

i hope you realize that's only a headgasket, dowel pins, and oil lines/fittings.

you still need a vtec head, and reworked internals for a RELIABLE lsvtec.

im in the process of building a lsvtec right now, and saturday im going down to the Honda/Acura Stealership, to buy-new gsr oil pump, water pump, timing belt and head gasket, all comes out to around 4-5 hundred dollers i think, along with the lsvtec kit, and all the other small things needed it total comes out to a lil over 1k i think.
