Re: What should I do to my hatch with $4500?
put a small portion of it into your car, make it look pretty, go take some super sexy pics of it, put it on honda-tech for some ungodly amount of money...sell it and get something you wont have to worry about.

One other thing I just thought of...if I'm going to end up dumping all this money into the LS block for some sort of LS/vtec build, why not just go get a low-mileage jdm b20 and swap the head onto that? I can already use my pr4 rods with the ARP hardware, then just get a set of 84mm type-r clones and hope there's enough piston to valve clearance lol. Uber amounts of torque for an n/a setup, and 200whp easily within reach for not much more than what I'd end up spending on this LS block.

If all your looking for is 200whp I'd do the B20Vtec with tt rods and SRP high comp pistons. Then build up the head.
That's what I'm doing with the LS/Vtec in my car. It hauls some serious *** already and I don't even have the head done yet. Just the built bottom end.
