well cool.....^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^... the motor you have in there right now isnt a vtec motor....but if you want to swap a b-series into your car do some resurch and find out what you want to get....lsvtec can be the cheapest way to go sumtimes and well it can also be the more depends on what you want

d-series head gaskets aren't hard to replace, why swap the motor instead of replacing the gasket :dunno:

was thinking a swap for a bigger or better motor, or could i swap the head with a vtec head while i am doing this? same bolts and all?

eh, you would want to swap the bolts for headstuds if you do the headswap. but yes, a vtec head would bolt up to your block.
