    To be honest. It is not worth the effort as the gains are minimal at best. Not to say that it won't be different. But, it will easier to go with either a LSV, GSR, or B20V setup.

    One think i was thinking instead of buying a ls/vtec kit, and tapping the block and head, and using dull pins. i thought doing a gsr block by using a ls crank would pretty much be an easier and much more realible setup than doing a Ls/V.....with the ls crank working with the gsr block, im guessing ill have more tq and power on all rpm band.....but then im just posting this to get better answers and to see if anyone has done it before in GEORGIA

    With the LS Crank in the GSR block. You will have to use LS rods, bearings, and the crank. Also, you will have to have crank machined down to utilize the oil squirters, otherwise they will have to be blocked off.

    I looked into this and realized it was not worth the money to build it. But whatever floats your boat.

    The LSV/B20V is not a hard setup to build. If you build it correctly, it can a good setup with decent power. I am currently running a LSV setup. Hence the reason why I recommend it.

    true...but its going to be less money doing the the gsr block with ls crank......how i see it i perfer having a motor that is meant to be ran with vtec......but have the dispalcement/tq/powerband of a ls/vtec....!
