Liquid knows his stuff. I'm sure that if I rebuilt my Type R with all oem parts at the exact same time you built your LS/Vtec, I'm still willing to bet that my hand polished, high compression, work of art engine will outlast yours, for the simple reason that all my parts were designed to be in the same engine.

How much did you actually spend building your engine? Including the cost of the LS block and the conversion, installation, parts, labor, everything. I'm willing to bet that if you're near my power output, your price is also pretty close.

I have some pics if you're really interested, but the car is nowhere near selling shape right now. I need a new front end(the current one is extremely ricey), and some paint work done. there are just over 108000 on the chasis, and the swap was done at 107000 with new pumps, belts, etc. I have no idea what I could get for it, but my ballpark was $8k, not bad considering its $4500 KBB and $5000 worth of ITR goodness.
