wtf is a shock block lol, the swap is easy but I wouldnt do it unless i got a damn good deal on the B16, I say build your motor

Build

Or

Build + turbo

Edit: To be honest, I would actually swap it for a GSR. If I could go back in time when I rebuilt my motor, I should have just swapped it. Since I decided to rebuild my LS, Im sort of stuck with it, so my modification continues

WTF is a shock block and PLEASE don't swap a B16. I've never understood why people but B16's in DAs. There's not enough torque to make the motor quick on the street.

What I would do:

Swap for a newer B18B1, put a forged bottom end in it, boost it, tune it, call it a day. The B18B1 is a cheap swap and those motors can make excellent streetable power with a well-choiced turbo setup.

Yeah, you won't have VTEC but w/e. I love my VTEC, but I sure wouldn't mind a VTEC-killing turbo LS in DA either.

Just my .02
