like BTLFED said talk to mike(Mr Vteckidd) at mainstream . he'll lead you in the right direction .

its cool that you ahve a mechanic doing for you . but i would have some one with LS-Vtec xperience . put it together for you , and if put together right . IMO from what i have seen and done they can be as reliable as a regular honda motor, just depends on how u maintane it .
