I have a GSR and it feels good compare to my friends B16A2 EK...I have one in an EG...Go with an LS over B16...For that low end of course....

I say either build a stroked LS/VTEC or go B20VTEC!!
Where at in The Burgh are you from? I could help you with your build if you want.

for 2500 the swap had better come with the tranny

If you only have 2500 total for the swap, I would say plan carefully and make sure you have extra for the little things that are forgotten sometimes. Timing belt, water pump replacement, new plugs, belts... Etc. Now would be a great time for a flywheel and clutch upgrade while the motor is out. I wish I had gotten a flywheel while I was replacing the clutch. But, like you, I was on a budget!

B16 = moped like torque, just my opinion

I have less than 1500 in my ls swap but it took a while to piece together. You can plan on spending @4-500 in random expenses after the swap, god help you if you have problems with any cels. The ls has alot more torque than a b16 as mentioned before, but if your a vtec feind you might aswell go with it because some people just are not happy with out their vtec fix. just remember hp #'s are good to have but if you don't have any torque with it, it's just going to be a noise maker

make sure when you buy that swap, that it is a complete change over...2500 should be enough but not for all the little things...Good Luck...
