Rep Power: 561 EX head and ECU
If you were to take an EX head and an ECU and put them on the LX is there ne thing more that you would have to do in order for the vtec to work. and does the ECU store the mileage. or does the guages in the dash do that. if there is ne thing more that one would have to do for the vtec to work what would that be.

Rep Power: 0 yep you would need a vtec cam along w/ an oil line that goes to the head in order for the pin to lock into the bigger lobe on the cam and rocker arm engaging vtec

Rep Power: 0 Everything to do with the cam is in the EX head already. If you get a hold of the EX head, then you don't need the cam. Another thing you need is the VTEC solenoid. ECU/Odometer question, I have no clue about that. I guess you could experiment if you have a friend that has a 2k1/2 and swap gauge clusters and see if your mileage readings change before/after...
