I have a 92 da ls that I intended to do LS-V in. I bought a b16 head and was planning to Fully Build it. However, $ got a lot tighter than I thought it would be so I picked up a Complete GSR head off of my boy. I have a GSR block that I pulled out of a Buddy’s car. So now, I am going to build a GSR. The head and the block are both complete. So for now im going to keep them all stock and drop it in this way. I need to know what all will I need, should I replace, While im doing the swap. Im planning to use as much stock bseries parts as possible. Everything is OBD1 i dont want any conversions. Im running a LS tranny for now. In the market for a LSD b16.
I Have:
Complete Stock GSR Head
Completely Stock GSR Block
Vtec Solenoid
New from Honda $$ Vtec Distributor
Blackworks Header
Tanabe 2.5" Exhaust
Im Buying:
Victor X or Skunk2 intake mani, 68mm throttle body
Gates Timing Belt, Tensioner, Waterpump
I plan to use my Stock B-series mounts, starter, oil pump, etc.
What do you Recommend I replace or get while im doing this?
I know I will need a Head Gasket, Manifold Gasket, anyothers? Anything else? The head and block have both been checked by my machine shop.

Replace your wore out stock mounts, swapshopracing sells the 3 piece for a good price, they work great as well.
Reply To: rollinmyda -The oil pump was replaced last time I pulled the motor so its fairly new. Its not that bad to get to to replace even with the motor in.
Reply To: Sirtef9 -The mounts are one thing I did consider. Thanks for the direction of where to find them.
Your going to hate the LS transmission. I have an XSi large spline with B16 1st-4th and an LS 5th for sale, and Im local, assuming your “bodymore murdaland” is Baltimore, MD. Anyway it has new honda synchros. It is not LSD though.
What machine shop are you using? and i would get new mounts if I were you.
