Default What will I be looking @

I am getting ready to order a 95 Ls Swap to Put in my 95 Civic DX. How good Does this motor run W/ just a few simple Bolt-ons.
I have heard that the torque makes up for no vtec almost anyways is this true.
and finally what does it cost to turn the Ls into a vtec (the vtec head and whatever else I may Need).

I'm running the cooler/filter relocation setup from the hybrid board. No probs yet (motor has less than 3000 mi on it), but fitting that big A cooler took some creativity. I had to make my own brackets and remove the little beam under the hood latch. I haven't put on the oil gauges so I don't have any numbers. Sorry. I'll prolly get to it this weekend and post the temps and pressures then.
