ls is the same as rs gs.
the only difference is pw,abs, etc. optional parts
engine and tranny are the same

The b16 transmission will bolt on to the b18 block.

The reason Suck my DX said to get the b16 transmission is because the b16 transmissions have shorter gears than the b18a transmission that you are getting. Shorter gears is better for acceleration. Also, get the b16 transmission equipped with a LSD, which would be even better acceleration.

hey if im going b18b would u still suggest the b16 tranny? i dont want acceleration like you described. And also would you recommend looking into the b16 header. I'm a noob but im taking my time to learn from guys like you

well it depends on if you really want acceleration or good mpg decent highway car. If you want acceleration then get a b16 tranny if you arent worried about save a ton of money and buy an ls tranny from a 90-93 teg.
