it has the torque, the swap is nicely priced, and the trans has longer gears so u get better gas mileage, i would give it a yes

i would get a b20 for even more torque. but a ls is a way better swap than the stock motor. either one u going to like over the sohc.

And the b20 and ls engines use the same eg mounts.

the best thing to do would be to keep your b18 block (unless you can get the b20 block and buy a vtec head. this will be a bit more money wise and work wise though its a lot better performance
