somethin like that... in a civic that difference would be a lot though.... i think i'll be doing a b20 swap in the spring.... or if i have a lot of money a b20 vtec swap.... but i doubt that one :cry:

shift linkage, Ls intake manifold, I would at least put a headder on it, cuz I think the crv exhaust manifold is probably restrictive...
The thing is with the B20 swap is those hp and tourque numbers are with the big crv tower intake manifold and stock exhaust manifold , so I would expect around 150hp 145lbs of torque..well at least somewhere in that neighbourhood... if you have a good exhaust sysrtem already, even better... no sens on looking for a stock B series intake tube and box either, buy a cheap A/M CAI...
With those cheap mods to the swap right off the bad, those numbers are increased... Thats what makes it fun, and im assuming is why not allot of people do it, cuz they shy away from Hondas hp specs on it... im not sure if your wireing harness will work with it, you might have to run a whole new harness...

haha. there you are, the b20 owner himself 
not gonna waste your breath on our dreams eh 
haha
Ill let you know when it becomes a reality, I almost bought a block 2 weeks ago, but couldnt settle on the price im looking for... Im going to montreal on the 28th, my buddys cousin has some good linkups for engines... who knows I might just come home with one
Im in no rush anyway, so im going to hold out for the right deal... And my eyes are always open for the loose ends too... Im sure zc_hatch is also in the same mindset, trying to figure out what he needs...

The B20 is an often misunderstood swap, so I try not to say too much. There alot of disinformation about it.
Every one has their thoughts and opinions on it, and theres too many peeps obsessed with the notion of a B20VTEC that they see right past the B20.
Take ride, thats all I got to say.
