Best Build for LS/vtec?

[projectxspeed]

Which way would all of you recommend? Using the golden eagle oil kit and dowl (sp) pins to setup a b16 head or taking it to a machine shop.

You have to do dowel pins either way I believe.

what happened with that swap u were selling??....i still need that tranny if u still have it

I am asking the question for a friend who wants to do the LS/vtec swap.

 

[projectxspeed]

I am still selling the swap but I am trying to keep it together as the engine/tranny/ecu. If I change my mind and part it out I will let you know.

I took my head to a machine shop and had it done, it wasn't too expensive but when the machine shop drilled out the dowel pin holes it left a lot of little metal pieces that I'm still cleaning up. From the looks of the golden eagle kit, that would be the better and easier way to go.

Still looking for a recommendation: get the head machined or use the dowel pins from golden eagle?

get a good, reputable shop thats done ls/vtec before to properly do the whole setup. we all know what happens to poorly built ls/vtec- boom. get it done right, or end up as one of the many who blew their shit up.

So your vote is to have the head machined. I definitely don't want my sh!t blowing up. That sounds like a bad time, and a big mess
