Okay, I've decided maybe the b18c head, right, (I read that the b16a head doesn't necessarily flow better-only if it's been mod'd) but the guy who's selling it to me hasn't got an intake manifold for it.

I know there are bolt ons around and stuff, but I'm wondering if my b18a manifold will fit okay. Anyone?

Also, anyone in the Brisbane area know a good shop with experience in the Frankenstein LS/VTEC conversion?

The b16a head does flow better at higher rpm, and does respond better to head work. The b18c head is slightly better down low, providing more torque.
When you start doing head work the b16a head is superior. see here (compliments of Toda AU:) )::
