It also has the Uprated water pump area and the later oil pump and cooler set up , running crank sensor,
The 5s block would need drilling on front corner for vvti oil feed,
Also high boost applications the inlet manifold will need replacing,
Honda boys delete there vtec for high high power,,
Im not going to pretend i know much about engines etc but as Ash says i already have a 5s block (mainly for low down torque) as well as the other few common reasons which i wont divulge into.
The Beams head is only an idea in the back of my mind as it is supposedly the best flowing head for the 3s aswell as high revs, so surely a few (expensive) mods with a 5s can bring it to reality and make it better than a 3s for torque, and better than a 5sgte(rev3+head) as the Beams is.. well a better head.
As i say though its just a thought and i will do my research, if it does seem like its worth doing then ill be sure to update but its not on my agenda anytime soon
