Get the Golden eagle LS/Vtec kit with dowl pins and head gasket. Get your compression figured out that you want and upgrade the rods with ARP rod bolts.

Search, this has been covered many times before.

 

i know this has been covered but i dont see anything about using the gsr block girdle. i read the scc article about the ls/vtec and it mentioned it but is it necessary.

no it's not...it does the same thing as the b18a block girdle. I wouldn't worry about that much if at all.
