Planning on swapping a B20+GSr tranny into my EK. Wondering if there was anything I should lookout for?

I know Im going to need a driverside upper mount, rear bracket, linkeage(LS?) and LS intake manifold (going with skunk2).

What kinda power tips can I get just goin N/A and non-VTEC. Not looking to be a high reving power monster. Just looking for around 130whp and adding a 50 shot for the weekends.
Going to be using a DC header, skunk2 IM, short ram intake, cam gears, and stage 2 crower cams, with possibly a mild cleanup in the head. sticking with stock LS redline and fuel maps, and compression ratio.

Also do I use an LS shift linkage? Or will the stock EX linkage work?
This is going to be a daily beater w/ ac and stuffs.

1- which b20 did you get? b20b or b20z?
2- if you need an ls skunk2 manifold i have one that i used on my b20, 200 picked up!
from my own experience, a non vtec b20 is lots of fun! specially since you'll be using a gsr tranny, and not an ls one. unless you do springs and retainers, you'll need to stop revving at 7K rpms. i tell you this because i did 6 valve adjustments, in less than two months! the valve train in the b20, will only handle about 7.2K rpms before the valves start to float! with the boltons you have listed, you'll love the way the b20 will drive. specially using the 50 shot(it will handle a 75 with no problems) you'll love it!

Thanks all.
Smokey, that's an answer I was lookin for. I plan to use the LS's stock rev limit, this isn't gonna be a racer, I already had a 26psi SOHC motor in before this one (Which consequently has a hole in it). Fun motors SOHCs. I picked up a turbo 280, which, once the Civic is back up, is gonna be my weekend car.

Now I guess I use a B16 linkage, but which throttle cable do I use?

Check out this link for my parts list: http://www.revinrex.com/b20beast.php

Also, if you get a B20Z or JDM B20B, you'll be in the area of 140 hp/130 ft-lbs torque at the wheels, with all the bolt-ons.

oh yes, the b20 is monstrous fun! I too have a gsr tranny, and damn this thing pulls like a rape ape!
