[QUOTE=Cold_Beer]I would start out with a b16....check www.hmotorsonline.com , you can get a complete swap for under 2500$. I say this becuase when ording from them , you get , Motor , tranny , ecu , dizzy etc. and they can get you everything thing you need for your application , and for 300$ more you can get a lsd tranny...not to mention you get the bitchin' gears of the b16 trannies. And they are all guarnenteed.
Also , when building a LS/Vtec , i would suggest , buying all NEW OEM , parts, ( oil pump , water pump , timing belt etc. ) and not reusing parts. Also you might want to invest in some arp rod bolts , and arp head bolts.
and yes , i wouldnt recommed using OEM Ls pistions....go w/ pr3's/p30's/itr's or ctr's...and all new oem bearings.
There are ton's of topics on here as well as on www.honda-tech.com Any information you need jsut do a search on either of the two...you WILL find results.
Good luck with the build.
