Hey this may be a dumb question but can I put an LS head on a b16/b17 block? I think the LS is off a b18b1 right, so im not sure if it will go onto a b16.

Just a quick question

 

Yeah it fits. My buddy had to do this when his head was in the machine shop. Definately not fast though. LOL

 

I have no idea honestly, but wouldn't there be issues with teh Vtec block oil gallies?

 

ok well IF it fits on there, how do i enable it for vtec? The same way you would an ls/vtec?

Are tehre any gains/downsides to the conversion? i will need vtec cams right?

Only reason I ask is cause i can get an awesome deal on a built LS head....*awesome*
and i have a scrapped gsr head i can use for parts (vtec solenoid, camshafts, etc)

 

Ive never heard of anybody converting a non vtec head to a vtec head. seems extremely hard.Id say pass on the head, or buy it and sell it to somebody who wants to boost a LS and make some money.

 

no, can't make a non vtec head a vtec head. Everything is diffrent, simple as that. Just keep saving and do it right, none of this half assed ****.

 

ok fair enough just wonderin
