    yea. i had a b20vtec, but my block went out, so im undecided on if i should get a b20 or an ls. i cant find a b20 anywhere but find ls's everywhere.

    so yea im trying to figure out wat i should do. ls/vtec or wait for a b20 to fall out the sky.

    but i dont got time to wait, i need my car regardless

    You can't find a B20? Last time I checked, TigerJapanese.com had plenty for like $600ish and I know passwordjdm had them for a special. Like two for $1100ish or something.

    Yeah, i mean there's nothing wrong with either setup. You can find B20's easy. But usually not just a block or head by themselves.

    Has high mileage but just replace minor things and you should be good to go.

    sheesh, all hes asking is whether or not since he had a B20/Vtec before, if he replaces the bottom end with a LS bottom.. will it run better or worse?

    why wouldn't the ls block be able to handle vtec? gotta run an oil line for the solenoid, but other than that. it should be fine.

    i see the ls/vtec setup all over the place.



    and really, if you're going all motor, then i'd do a b20/vtec with block guard, if boosted then ls/vtec w/ blockguard.

    b20 shortblocks are hard to find in good condition, let alone complete.
