Default swap or ls/vtec?

im considering ditching my turbo. Im looking for reliability, and no headaches. This is for a 96 Ls. What do u guys think? Im considering>

1) A gsr swap(could i still use my Ls tranny? How easy is doing the swap?)

2)Ls/vtec (HxGuy is selling a disassembled head, whats the cost of getting it assembled ?)

3)return the teg to stock, and mess with a civic hb.

based on pure power to weight ratio........ hatch hands down. it simply weighs less and will be more responsive to whe you do to it.

i second that. you could return your teg LS to stock and sell it out right or trade it on a civic hatch. i say sell it out right and if you get $10K-12K, that will beuild you a very nice EG or EK hybrid. thatd get you a car, B18c5 swap I/H/E nice suspension and some decent rollers. and VTEC in a EG is something youll love from behind the wheel.
