OK i am stumped. i have a pr4 head that is ported and polished and has new valve springs and retainers. that i have a little bit of money in to. i threw a rod in my a1 block and was thinking of putting in on an b18c block. can this be done??? what head gasket would i need, ex...?? or should i just build a A1 B1 block, i know my ys1 LSD trans will bolt up to any b motor.
i am looking to run 8000 RPM'S or so.
i guess i am asking will a non vtec head fit a vtec block?? i know people that have put vtec heads on non vtec blocks. what parts and pieces will need??
thanks for your help

Integraguy04 is building a "L16"

B20 head on a b16 block.

should help you some

that sounds good but i will need new motor mount, harness, ECU, and a lot of little things is it really worth it all???

get an LS block and just bump the compression. its gunna be way cheaper than finding a damn vtec block cuz everyone has hard on for them and thinks they are worth so much $$$$$$

OK i crossed over to a Vtec. i got a b18c from japan. the price was really good and it was the hole engine, harness, computer, ex. i hope you guys know i race every weekend. so the motor got really abused. the vtec will too. the b18a1 will be going back together as a stock rebuild. that will be my back up when i b18c breaks. (i hope not) i do have to say you guys on this site are super smart, and thanks for all the help, during my build.

good luck man

Traitor!!!

Hey there are a few of us on here that have Vtec. Sadly my head is still at the machine shop getting new valve seats (long story). For now I am rocking the P75 head. Good choice on the GSR motor, take care of it and it will last.

ohh im def. not hatin on the motor choice. i used to have a stock gsr in a EG hatch and the fucker pulled hard..then cylinder 3 was at 140psi so i sold if off so i didnt have to rebuild it. Good motor choice nonetheless

I ran my mouth to fast. I like all hondas weither vtec or not they're fun to drive. And I say that to say this... I just bought a prelude sh and damn is that thing fun!
