n/a. for less than 100 bux and it runs better than a sohc vtec, who's
to complain? do we have any broke people here who's goal isn't to hit
low 12s?

myotherrideisyourbitch says:

I have personally done a reverse ls vtec myself. It's not a waste of
money if you got a block and a head layin around. It costed me 89
dollers to build it. There are a few things you have to do to get it
to work.
-Plug the oil feed in the b16 block
-move the dowel pins on the Ls head
-use a ls head gasket where the dowel pins also have to be moved
-Use ls head bolts which will be to long so you have to cut 3/4in. off them
-use a belt that matches your pumps
thats it
My reverse ls vtec (ALL this stuff thrown together for $89)
-port polish and shave/portmatched intake manifold
-polished rods / b16 pistons
-96 up ls cams
This setupin 92 h/b with gsr tranny runs a 14.6 all motor
So who says it's a waste of money an $89 doller motor that runs 14.6's
which has dusted GSR swap hatchbacks. LS head</TD></TR></TABLE>
