Default what goes in to making a good ls/vtec swap?

what components of an SI engine do you need in order to produce an efficient? if you put a gsr head on an ls block wouldnt that be an ls/vtec or wouldnt that just be a gsr engine? thanks for the feedback

a DOHC vtec head on a LS block is a LS/Vtec. The LS has more stroke than the gsr. You will need gsr or type-r oil pump, timing belt, full-race dowl pins (or 14mm drill bit) The complete head from valve cover down and Intake manifold, with distributor. And a oil feed line.

It's not just the parts used, it takes good knowledge to make a mix-and-match motor such as a LS\VTEC work properly and be reliable.
