Default Cr/vtec ???

Long story short, I have a complete B16 swap right now but unfortunatly the block needs rebuilt (i believe it to be rod knock). I've been looking into getting it rebuilt but it seems like it's going to cost at least a grand to fix. I've been looking around on the net and it seems like the cheapest route would be to get a B20 block and just use my B16 head and Intake manifold on this motor. This swap is a left over from a previous car and it's going into a project car. This will be not be a daily driver, just a fun car to mess around with on the weekends. My question is, how much truth is there to the rumors of B20's grenading themselves when people rev them to 7600-8000 rpms. I've looked around on various websites and it seems like people have had good luck with these setups, some who have had it for 2-3 years and had no problems. Has anyone on this board had any personal experience on this setup rather than the usual, "heard it from a friend of a friend who read it on a car forum???"
