Ok so the guy that I have putting my engine in will be throwing in a b20 in my 95 LS. My question is im about to order some parts for and and not sure how they will bolt in. My swap is going in tomorrow (why I posted this and still researching). I need to order/find headers and intake that will bolt in. Also what all must be changed out in order for this to happen?


Would this swap be worth it or should I just wait a week for the LS motor to get here and put that in?

Thanks in advance for the help.

stick w/ the b20. I believe you can order any b-series header and it should be fine.. and intakes are pretty generic too. The b20 is pretty much identical to the LS so anything that works for the LS will work for the B20 (bolt-on wise).

You need to use your old ls intake manifold to clear the hood i believe. the stock b20 one is wayy too tall. otherwise there identical engines with the b20 having a better flowing head and valvetrain and a bigger bore.

Did some research. Thank you guys for the help. B20 will be going into the car tommorow.

Jacking the thread from ya bro, but I have a related b20 question. (sorry justin)

But will the b20 motor bolt up to a GSR transmission or would I have to get a different bell housing?

should bolt right up. i know the transmissions that came on the b20 had a bigger bell housing, to accommodate the size of the CR-Vs engine bay, but the bolt pattern is the same on the side of the block. I'll likely be using a GSR trans on my B20VTEC next spring.

Thanks for the info. Justin (aznlyfe) is a good friend of mine and he's talking me into doing a b20 setup but the car I was currently looking at has a GSR so I was curious.

When you do your swap, if you could, send me some info on how it goes as far as everything bolting up.

I might even get to it before you since you said next spring. So I might be able to give you some heads up.

Thanks again,

Brian

no problem, my good man. yeah, you'll likely beat me to it in the long run. money is tight on my end, and my build kind of got halted in its tracks about 2 months ago.

I will hopefully start looking for a shell within the next few months.

I got laid off so I know what you mean about money tight, plus VA Unemployment is having fun bending me over.
