My opinion is that an NA is a bad platform for a 20B conversion in most cases. The TII hood, drivetrain, and power brake booster will work with a stock 20B-REW, while the NA components will not. You would probably be better off selling the NA car and buying a TII with a blown engine. Here is a web site that lists the basic issues involved in a 20B FC conversion.

The 20B swap is a complicated custom procedure, and there isn't really any one way to do it. Yes, you would probably be better off rebuilding your stock NA engine and adding a $200 street port along with the rebuild. However, the 20B swap would be much more interesting and challenging if you have a lot of time and money to spend on your car.

BTW, there is 20B subforum hidden under the Rotary Performance forum.
