Yeah, B17A blocks are next to impossible to find. Believe me- I've tried.

Yes- you can take your B17A head and make an LS/VTEC out of it, if that's what you really want to do. I like the B17A head the best because of its combustion chamber and intake manifold.

Personally, the B17A is by far my favorite B series motor- the perfect hybrid between the Si and GSR engines in terms of rod ratio and displacement. Personally, I'd replace the B17A block. Get a B16A shortblock and swap out B17A internals.
