Re: going ls/vtec, need some suggestions
Like the first post said arp are very recommended with the headstuds and rod bolts. I would use a b16 head high flow without any work just maybe some jdm type r cams. And a cometic headgasket would do the job great and all of that stuff is affordable. Golden eagle has a kit you can buy that comes with the studs and their conversion kit I used it and it did wonders. But if your gonna use your stock bottom and I would recommend atleast rebuilding it. Rings and bearings and such. Good luck
