Default Will a B16a header fit a B20?

Will a header made for a B16a fit a b20? The b16a has a shorter block right? So I'm guessing it won't fit a B20 or a B18 even... Anyone know for sure?

well that's sorta going the other way..... for sure i'll bolt up to the head..... but i want to know if the b16a header (which is shorter - from top to bottom i think) will clear the oil pan. of course the b18c5 header will fit a b16a because the deck of a b16a is shorter I THINK.... but will it fit the other way since the b16a header is made for a shorter deck (again I THINK), I'm afraid it'll hit the oil pan of the b20....

Anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance...

I highly doubt it since the engine is soo much bigger. Im almost 100% certain that a B16a header wont work on a B18.

It will not clear the oil pan.

i know from personal experience that a 1st gen b16 header will not clear the oil pan of my ls/vtec (same difference). it will actually leak where the exhaust manifold and the downpipe meet. no good.
