Default need help deciding on engines

i have a gsr engine i need to fix. not sure what to do.

440 inj.
full 3'' exhaust
stage 4 clutch
255 fuel pump???
installed already
on my car

Are you planning to go B20 Vtec (use your GSR head)?

Should def.be able to...unfortunately there are so many tricksters on Honda-tech and the like that I wouldn't buy one unless I heard it running and then tore it down myself. I do commonly see longblocks for less than $1500 though.

if you're going NA and planning to stay NA then either blocks is fine and you can use the parts you already have...

but i would prefer the b20 because it has more torque. depends on what you wanna do. your money...do watever you wanna do...
