Sorry if its been posted but I've searched and can't seem to find it. I see that there is a B20b and B20z. From what I can tell the B20z makes more hp is this correct? I want to swap my wifes tired LS motor in the 94 teg for a nice clean stock B20. Wheres the best place to find a low mileage motor and what kinda cost am I looking at?

So thats it? Heads are the same?

I have the option of buying a fully worked LS head with Skunk2 valve train and Crower cams in it as well as a nice port and polish job, would this head bolt on and work better than the stock B20 head?

the LS head will bolt right up to the b20. I would recommend that you tune the car if you are using more aggressive cams

Care to elaborate a lil more man? I'm a noob to Hondas and have no idea what the P2V is?? Sounds like the code for the head?

Thanks for the help guys!

p2v = piston to valve.
should be ok using oem valves/head, jsut clay it if you run larger lift or duration cams, or increase the valve size
