Though I'm a trained Toyota mechanic, they don't teach you anything that's not in the book. Plus as soon as I got my degree and all their certificates I went to Honda and never looked back ... until I purchased my 6gc. With Honda, there are a number of hybrid engine combinations you can do, some worth it, some not. Is this at all so with the 5S-FE? Are there any heads that are at all common to swap on to a 5S-FE block, or is my only choice swapping the engine to get more performance (besides adding a turbo, which to me is more of a pain than it's worth. If I go turbo, I'm just going to swap an entire -GTE in)

Good find. Makes ense there both s series motors. Im wondering if a 94and up 5sfe with take a beams head(3sge). Be like having a stroked beams id assume. If your going to persure this id advise taking your time and going all out, full bottom end build. Id that thread he said hed never taken it above 5500 rpm. Get it to go up to that 9k. Would be interesting to see the power gain. Hopefully its much like the honda frankenstein h series(h23 block with vtec h22 head). Insane inprovment.
