Default Thinking of doing an lsvtec swap....what should i look out for?

lsvtec swaps are usually done with the b20 block. what are the most common problems with this swap?

how about an lsvtec swap with a b21 block? what would be the common problems with this? or would it be pretty much identical?

any help would be much appreciated!

LS/VTEC's use the b18 block, CR-VTEC runs the b20 bottom end....

ok...so its the cr-vtec swap i am looking at...if i have a b21a1 block will it make a difference in the swap?
should i buy the b20 block? should i keep my b21 block? has anyone done a crvtec swap with a b21?

i am pretty lost on the subject if you cant tell...lol

if you do a crvtec you will have to do a complete motor swap since your motor leans forward and other engines have a more straight forward stance.

the b21 is a piece of **** period. stay far away from it....i won't go into it but it's right up there with the 12 valve accord motors.
