Have you considered a B20/V? Those are fa-fa-fun!

Use Golden Eagle's oil feed system if you do LS/V.

I think a GSR engine is more reliable as well.

I'd agree, go with the GSR, I love mine. Do the swap your self and save some money and take all that you save so you can get extra parts. Swapping a honda motor isnt that hard, maybe if you havent done it, but its still fairly easy.

Go for the GSR.
LSVtec/CRVtec are unreliable for various of reasons.
One reason is that people put a vtec head on an LS/CRV block and expect it to rev to the vtec redline. The bottom end of the LS/CRV is not made to rev that high.
The B18C1(GSR) has a shorter stroke which allows it rev higher, as well as a girdle which strengths the bottom end.

More Stroke = More Low end torque
Less Stroke = Allows you to rev higher/More potential power on the high end.

You want something reliable and fast? Poor man's Type R.
B18C1 Block, Crank, Rods.

B16 Head, Port and Polish, Integra Type R cams/springs (An ITR head, minus the mark-up price)

B18C5 Pistons.

You get the power of a Integra Type R(ITR) for fraction of the price.

Edit:
Power of an ITR and Speed of one are two different things. The ITR has different gearing for its transmission then an LS or GSR Integra.
