lsvtec and build it right the first time around with the proper durable materials that it should be built with. I suggest new bearings, seals, washers, gaskets. Along with the VTEC oil pressure kit that most place sells for 70-150 bucks depending on place along with the Z10 crank girdle or modified GSR girdle. ARP rod and head bolts are good, along with a VTEC oil and water pump and corresponding timing belt.
Last note: since your going NA and you have a cable tranny get the S1 tranny with your all motor build, very short gearing and cheap.
good luck.
