Quick question about making a frankenstein

[Rarebud]

Ok would the following fit together? B16B type R head B20Z or B20B (high compression) block LS type R transmission suppose to get these results: 225hp 150tq (maybe just a tad less or so but thats a round about number) Im working on a DIY project and hope to post some pics up on combining these suckers.. but just wanted to know if those 3 will fit together comments.. suggestions.. ridicules are all welcome! i need motivational speaches or anything

You need to do some more research...an LS transmission is completely different from a Type-R transmission. Not only in gearing, but the R comes with an LSD. A GSR has shorter gearing and should work, ITR is the best option for even shorter gearing & the LSD (faster accell, not so great on the highways), and an LS has long gears for mileage, not acceleration. It's a bit of a waste to put all that time into the motor and have an LS transmission. A GSR is a nice middle ground, IMO. I daily drive with one, and although 5th is a little short for my liking on the highway, I enjoy the acceleration.

To answer your question, I am pretty sure that they will fit together, (either trans).

One more thing though...in your profile pic you have an 01-03 Civic...you're not looking to put this motor in that car are you? Because if so you REALLY need to do some research.

The B18 LS motor w/ VTEC head is reffered to as an LSVTEC, and the B20 is generally referred to as a CRVTEC, which will make your searching easier.

Sweet thanks
with all that said im just going to probably stick with

B20B high compression block/transmission (CRVtec)
GSR type R head
(call it a good match from there and then do the gut works)

and also i need to add to my profile that i have a 1982 civic hatchback... thats the car im ripping apart and doing the swap on

BTW there is a pic in the 3rd post or 2nd in this thread i tried to start up it has the car im ripping apart.
82' engine swap

lol....seriously, you need to do some research.

The LS, GSR, and Type-R are all different motors and trannys.

There is not such thing as a GSR Type R Head, or an LS Type R Trans. You can install ITR internals in a GSR, but they are not the same. You should probably check out Honda-Tech for more info, or a forum with al ittle more support for older motors. You won't find too much info here on B-Series.
