- Wed Feb 24, 2010 3:45 pm #177422 thats a good bit of mileage... with out going thru the bottom end the vtec head would likely finish the bottem end off.... however the vtec head you would notice a little more kick... but i cant tell you it would hold up very long... i put a vtec head on a bottom end that was rite at 200k... it didnt last but for about a month. that was dogging it hard tho... if you go the head swap route id recomend the z6 head with a y8 intake manifold... i dont wana sound like an ass but if you dont have the money to put another engine in later on i wouldnt mess with it lol
