Too many variables in each considering both engines will require a mis-mash of different parts.

i do not know why ls vtecs have such a bad rep, we have no problems with them lasting. ls vtec motors are just as reliable as any other motor if built right. people that say they have problems never had one or didn't build their's right.

Both can be very reliable as long as they are built right!
