Default CRX Build

I just got a crx shell i have two options as far as motors

Option 1: JDM B20 rebuild

Option 2: LS with a V-TEC head and rebuild

Which project will come out better in the long run?
Any good websites for the internals such as pistons, camgears, camshafts ect...

I want to be able to blow past american mucsle with ease.

P.S. Sorry about the first post i was in a rush.

Your question is way too broad. Whats your budget, expertise level of mechanic work, power goals, etc?

Stupid questions get stupid answers.

Put a 2JZ swap in it, it's a good motor.

Seriously, you need to do your own research. What works for one man may not work for you.

Well, you may want a VTEC head, I don't think v-tech (the phone company) makes cylinder heads.

Your question needs some refinement. What do you intend to use the car for? I'd prefer the LS-VTEC for boost, but it all depends on what you're going to be using the car for.

I have had 2 LS motors in my crx and now im running a low compression B20 and I couldnt be any happier with it. http://www.tigerjapanese.com if your wanting to pick up a motor. My only word of advice is this, if your going with a non vtec motor, keep it that way, dont slap a vtec head on there. I am anti LS/B20 Vtec's. But to each their own
