b20 vtech head swap

[87' lude]

i have a '87 prelude si with a b20 in it. i was wondering how hard and expensive it would be to put a 16v dohc vtech head on it. and how much electronical work would be needed to hook up the vtech.

pretty damn hard.

the frankenstein b20-vtec setup is generally the later b20z from the crv, which the vtec head will bolt to.
tom at www.ludespeed.com had a write up on the vtec head swap on the b20a though, and it can be done, but it requires redrilling some holes and what not.

it's not worth it.

would that even match with it

it is worth it if you do a cam swap also. if not then the gains are insignifigant.
but another thing costing a similar amount is an H22.

i would think that you can put a h22a in it with the cams.
