Default LS/VTEC trade -

What do you guys think?

In exchange for my 99 GSR block + $500 (for labor) i will get:

LS bottom end
20 over bore/ endyn pistons
Civic type 12.5 (mentioned something about 12.1) compression piston
stock rods
new rod bearings
main bearings
micro polish and balance crank
new oil pump/water pump
pan
oil return line - head gasket intake gasket
and again, all of this installed.


all of this in addition to my all motor setup w/ toda b's - how much power do you guys think? reliability compared to my stock gsr bottom?? Thanks!

It is a well known shop who has this offer- they want to trade because some customer ordered it and then backed out. Opinions?

I wouldn`t do it. I`d stick w/ your GSR block and throw high comp pistons in, etc etc

it's simple why they want to trade.

GSR blocks are way better, and since you DRIVE a GSR then that's a 100% sure shot for them that your block is legit.
i'm not saying this motor is hot. i have no clue.

but everyone knows a GSR block is way better than a LS block.
a GSR block with a LS crank and rods in it is even BETTER. heh.
