Recommendations for ls/vtec block

okay, I'm already running a b16 head with sk2 stage 2 cams and valve springs and retainers. Can someone give me a good rod and piston setup for my ls block? I just want something that I can put in easily without any machining work.

Stock LS rods with B16a PR3 pistons. You can throw in some ARP rod bolts for good measure.

Re: (SupaFly_Honda)

ls headgasket = ok, but modify it:

compression with JDM b16 pistons would be 11.309:1
compression with USDM b16 pistons would be 11.1009:1

i didnt modify my headgasket. i think that picture is for if you want to relocate the dowel pins instead of just enlarging the holes. either way it works.
