well... think about it. You couldnt take an Avenier motor and put it into an S chassis. Nor could you take an S13 motor and put it in a B chassis. So yeah.. the head is what makes a VE a VE... and some other things that are similar between VE's and DET's. All in all it seems like alot of work... only reason i went VE in my B14 is because our transmissions are weak. The S chassis trans are much stronger... go with boost. Its cheaper. Unless you are just trying to get some originality points.
As for a VET that someone mentioned.... its close to impossible to find. And all VE's came with 6 speed CVT trans, but the DE trans bolts up just fine. I have a VE in my B14.
