is a b16 swap really worth the money and headache?

i can get a b16 obdo non-lsd swap for 2 grand and one with an lsd for $2400. is the lsd really worth it?

also how hard would the wiring be? im running a carbed a20 right now.

the last b16 swaped hatch only ran like 16 sec quarter miles. i think my moded car could keep up with that. im going to swap mine with a GSR or LS/vtec. thats the only thing i will miss about the A20...the torque

well the stock a20 only has (according to the internet) 98 hp the b16 i want has 170. plus there is so much more you can do to a b16. i want an ls/vtec but dont have the money.

i just wanna know if its worth it and how hard the wiring will be.

hardest part is having the money....with money wiring can be easy. you will also need mounts and convert your car to fuel injection...if you want lil more power get a weber carb, header, cam and exhaust..that should put your car at around 120hp

yea it's all money, i put a v6 legend motor in an 81 civic once, the therapy bills later about killed me. plus i lost an ex over it and a lot of shit. anything can be put in anything if you have the time and motivation. look at the rear wheel drive project going right now.

i have a full custom exhaust. my car needs a valve job right now so im trying to find out how much that will cost me. i found some high comp pistons and h beam rods for it.

where can i get a cam?
