Well my ls head is done for so I'm trying to make this decision.
I know a guy with 5 GSR heads for $450 a piece. But then my buddy has a full B18a1 with YS1 trans for $500.

So I either do ls/vtec or cammed b18 like before... Opinions?

 

I'm really leaning towars ls/vtec, but then I read this

Now as for parts you will need with either motor. These are NEEDS not WANTS. They are a part of either build and will not be listed in the motors simply because we will assume you will get them.
1. New rod and main bearings. Please dont ask what kind ya need. they are different for every motor. 2. New head gasket, Oil pan gasket, rear main seal, Oil return gasket, oil filter
3. Thrust washers
4. fittings for running the external oil line.
5. You must have the entire rotating assembly balanced!!!!!!!
6. New VTEC Water pump.
7. New VTEC oil pump.
8. New VTEC Timing belt.
9. BE SURE TO MATCH THE WATER PUMP AND TIMING BELT. VTEC=VTEC and Non-vtec=Non-vtec. otherwise your car will
die a very painfull death.!
10. We both prefer ARP bolts to stock. Stock is usable but ARP is cheap insurance.

I REALLY REALLY don't feel like cracking open the bottom end, is this really necessary?
