i believe you can swap the heads from b's to a's and vice versa....but unless u know what ur doing, its <U>alot</U> of work, mainly concerning the vtec...ull also need a new ECU to run vtec

yes , u can do it. i think there is a thread on here about it. the horses are minimal compared to a swap maybe 10 horses max .

junk yards are ur friends....but i have no clue as to the going rate......if u get the head, and it turns out its bad, use it to teach urself how to port, and go at it!
