Default ls-vtec build w/future boost

Ok, so i currently have a jdm second gen b16 in my 97 civ coupe. And I hate it... its slow lol... so next i wanna swap the block and go ls/vtec. But ive been hearing about lots of problems with certain blocks. I plan on boosting once the build is done.. so i want a motor that can take a good amount of boost without me worrying about a piston flying through my firewall =/.. Anybody know which blocks would be BEST?.. (i know ls/vtec means using a b18b block (hense the ls) but i just mean a b16 head on another block haha)

so far all i know is b20s are weak

thanks
