Default ls/vtec vs. b16

Have a question fellas. I MAY be getting a hatch that has a ls/vtec motor with type r pistons,header, etc etc. It should have about 40k on motor and 195 horse. I have a stock B16. If I get this hatch do I sell the B16 and keep the ls vtec and do turbo or sell ls vtec and wotk the b16? What could I getl for either engine?

2500 is about as high as its going to get.... if you get 2500 for a b16 consider youself lucky as ****... i mean im not downing the b16... u just cant sell them that high with bare ls blocks going so cheap... everyone wants an ls vtec... hell i ditched my b16 for an lsvtec.... i regret every min i wish i would have just boosted the b16 with the money i dumped into an all motor setup.... once the block comes apart.... the money pit begins.... but i love the na power non the less.... i just spent a tonnnn of money
