whats needed?
depends on what you want to do, try not to be so general when you ask questions and you will get more answers.
B18 if u wanna plug and play. but if u r serious bout building then go w/ the Crv-tec.

This might answer a few q's

id would go CRVtec myself but it wont be as reliable especially if you plan on making it 11 sec on the street but either will the b18c. Id take the CRV cause the low end torque + vtec head= a damn good thing but make sure you have a good mechanic cause i would trust just anyone with this swap
the strongest b series block is the b18b which is the ls block...as for the b20 block it has its ups and downs....yes it has low end torque but the block is weak and due to high revving and you will do high revving the sleeves in the block will go....

True. That is why i have never seen a un-build Crv-tec. If u do decide to go Crv-tec, do it the correct way and build it. If u do, it will destroy the b18b. But like mentioned earlier, i hope u can find someone u trust to build a motor.

how's the b18b the strongest block? actually i'd say out of the b18b and b18c, the b18c is, because it has the oil squirters to cool the rods. the b20 is a b18b with a bigger bore.

anyway, the b18c with the b16 head would be more affordable because you won't have to drill the oil lines and stuff, you'd just slap the head on and go. if you're looking for max power i'd go with the b20, cuz there's no replacement for displacement.
