can you do a b16 bock with an ls head will it still run or run like ****...


same as gsr block with ls head...

 

They are both going to run like *** unless you tune it?

 

Why would you want to do that? Either way, you putting a non-vtec head on a smaller block than they came on.

 

would that mess around with compression ratio at all.. why is it not a common swap.. and whats the cons on it thanks

 

Yes it'll "mess around with" the compression, the LS head has a larger combustion chamber and will lower compression (which means less power). It's not a common swap because that's the worst of both worlds, it's like taking the leftover scraps from someone else's project. You mate the smaller-displacement block with the worse-flowing head for less power than a stock LS or stock B16 engine... what's the point? Not only that, but then you'll dump money into tuning it - ending up with an engine that is more expensive and causes more headaches than a stock engine, but makes less power.
