LS/VTEC swap question

does anybody know where I can find a VTEC head for my 98 Integra LS. It has the 1.8L engine and what not. I've been checking on ebay, but I can't find anything. If there is a place I can buy it online please let me know. Thanx.

Try Nipponmotors.com. You can get the whole JDM B16A for $450(just the engine) and then you can sell the block for $200 or so. ;)

hey , so let me get this strait , i can take a non vtec motor , like in an integra non gs-r or non type R , and put vtec heads on it from a b16 or another motor for like $800 and have a VTEC then ?? cuse im lookin into integras and i see alot of non vtecs that i like , and i wanna just drop a b18-c1 in there , but if i can just take the non vtec block and put the vtec top on there , will that work better , or comparable for the price ?? tell me what you think . thanks

It's not quite that easy...go to www.geocities.com/thelsvtec/
also, i found a great product for the ls/vtec setup @ www.inlinefour.com
i've researched in and decided it's not worth it for me, but if i can pass on any info about it let me know:cool:
