Otherwise...I'd go for a B18c (c5 if you really wana go for it, but its just not wirth the money, IMO). From what I've gathered, best bang for the buck without having to build it up.
I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT IF UR GOING LS/VTEC THERE IS NO POINT IN HALF ASSIN THE BUILD, U SHOULD BUILD THE BOTTOM END REGUARDLESS. I MEAN IT'S ALREADY THERE, IT'S NOT LIKE U HAVE TO TEAR THE HEAD OFF OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT (UN LESS UR BUYING A LONG BLOCK).

JUST DO WAT I DID BUY A BARE BLOCK AND ADD ALL THE COMPONENTES U NEED. STOCK LS/VTEC ARE A TICKING TIME BOMB

BTW DOES ANYONE HAVE AN LS CRANKSHAFT IN GOOD CONDITION, THAT HASNT SPUND A BEARING.
