I Was thinking about building a Ls, Im talking about built head and bottom with supporting mods ecu, fuel system etc.. but is it really worth it. I would want to bore it out drop some good sleeves 84mm piston etc... Just trying to find out if i would be wasting money or not

You are the first person to ever ask this... Lol, not really. Go browse the many NA threads. HT, nonV, they all have em. waste of money is relative and that term will vary a lot person to person...

Most people will say it is a waste of money, but i think its cool to see how much you can get out of a nonV. I say read up and see what parts are actually available. There are not many trust me I know. But if its what you want to do, do it.

The LS head just sucks when it comes to flow. You can get a decent amount of power though with a good machinist and builder.

but then he would have to bore over to 84mm right? If thats the case then he should just go with the b20 all together.

211whp is the most that I can find with a little bit of research.

That video kind of cleared up that in order to make a Ls pull 200+ theres alot of work to do and money to save what do you guys honestly think

LSV you can make that power way easier and cheaper. or turbo your stock motor and make 250 at minimum with proper tune

With both VTEC and non VTEC engines built the same way there is approx 50-75 difference in potential HP (all motor).
