I searched all over and still undecided.

Ok guys I think I will get away from a straight b16 swap.I am thinking a Frank build.So what do you guys think?A ls/vtec or crvtec.I have looked around and havent gotten the whole idea.IF I do a b20 block (stock)can I use oversized valves in a p&p stock b16 head without v2p problems?What does it mean by getting the big end of the rods honed to accept arp bolts?Will the crvtec yeild better #'s than the ls/vtec with the same spent if I build a ls block with pr3 pistons with stock rods.And the b16 p&p head.Thanks to all.

first off the any of the vtec head valves are going to contact the pistons because the valve reliefs cut into the pistons are a different size. you need to cut vtec valve reliefs in the stock pistons if you plan on using them, but a stock bottom end won't yeild much power and won't be very reliable.

as for machining the rods it means to open up the rod bolt holes so arp rod bolts can be pressed in they are bigger than the stock rod bolts.

for the little bit of extra cost i would pick up some aftermarket rods because by the time you buy rods bolts and machine the rods you can pick up some eagles or something for only a little more. you can also pick up a set of rs machine cast pistons to save some money on forged pieces.

you should go lsvtec and leave the b20vtec build to me.....

Are you being stingy?There are enough to go round

Honestly, stock for stock, the b20/vtec will be a quicker motor, but the ls/vtec is slightly more reliable (if frank motors can be considered reliable).

Which ever blcok you get a hold of the soonest, please be sure to put higher compression pistons in it, because you wont regret it.
