I think you just need the head and a vtec ecu. You also have to drill new oil lines in the head. I'm also wondering how much a shop would charge to do a LS/Vtec job.

expect to pay 1500-2200 for just the "basic" ls/vtec setup. that is including the vtec head, ecu, oil lines and fittings, labor.

i bought a 94 gsr head for 700 back then, 300 for the gsr ecu, and 500 for the shop to prep the head for ls/vtec, oil fittings, labor, replace my ls throttle cable to gsr. this was done in Sacramento about 4 years ago.

u will need to do a complete engine overhaul with high compresssion pistons and all that good stuff to really appreciate the "frankenstein" setup.

he's right. don't pay more than 1500. maybe a couple more hundred, but that's it. the price i gave u is just a range for which u can gauge on.

How much would a shop generally charge to drop in the head?
