Default Time for a new engine swap *pics*

Ok for starter i have a 97 ex coupe w/ Ls swap. A couple weeks a ago my timing belt crap out on me as u can see below. Bented a bunch of valves so now its time for a new engine.
Sucks because this was my daily driver to school and work.

My car



Cheap belt from Advance Auto Parts this is only about 65k miles on it


Ordered a few parts from Majestic



My new engine of choice is a B20b from hmotorsonline.com and being shipped as im writing this up. In the mean time i been taking things apart trying to get it ready.




I figured i take one of these too sence everyone has one.



Many more update w/ pic soon.

Looks like your well on your way. But there isnt any 'tech' involved with your post, so this thread needs to be in the Appearance Build Thread found here.

Would you just spell VTEC properly ALREADY? I see you misspell it in EVERY one of your posts.

THERE IS NO DASH BETWEEN THE V AND THE T!

Variable Valve Timing and Electronic Lift Control. (VTEC)

An acronym, meaning all letters are capitalized and there is NOTHING separating one or more of the letters. Sheesh.
