If you've never built a block before I'd say to go ahead and build an lsvtec with oem internals. No need wasting a ton of money and losing it because of inexperience. Build a cheaper motor, learn and then move on to something bigger and better. Or just pay someone to build a crvtec for you. What are your goals and intentions for your car?
