first off, ls/vtec bottom block??? no such thing. Ls/vtec is when you take an Ls bottom end and swap any DOHC Vtec head on it.So you would be taking an LS bottom and swapping on a B18c5 which in essence would make it ls/vtec.

that would be a good way to go if you have that much time and patience with tuning your car perfect. You are looking at a huge amount of money being spent if you want it done right. I'm not just talking about the top end an bottom, but also to reinforce your bottom end for safety along with your top end. with all that money being spent, i would just take your SOHC 1.6 vtec engine and have it rebuild with quality parts and turbo the sucker.Would be quicker then ur ls/vtec
