Out of curiousity, what head do you have? B18C1, B18C5, B16A?
Do not use the stock LS ones. GS-R, B16A, Type-R, or B16A3 bolts from the DOHC VTEC Del Sol should do fine. Pick up the November issue of SCC Mag and turn to page 148; great article on an LS/VTEC engine swap.
By the way, answer my poll in the Hybrid section.

I've heard that that article is trash from my friend who is underway is ls/vtec. I heard that ARP are always the best, but not sure what kind you would use.

That article uses 5 year old theory and IS TRASH imo. They go so far as to machine for dowels. Uhhh...I would have though they would have used dowel kits that are available. Maybe I'm wrong.
BTW...I had been told use ARP GSR head bolts for the LS/Vtec.
