You will be content with it for a while. Plus they have a ton of parts for it and you could always swap out the head for a V-tec one later on. The ls trans will serve you good as a communter. If you are looking to get something with closer gearing, then pick up a B16 or GSR trans. That sounds good. How much do you think that setup would cost? And if I decided to add a v-tec head later on, would I have to get a new ecu/harness, or is there a v-tec adaptor for the ecu? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/1993-civic-dx-b16-swap/244077)._
