Default B17a Head + B18c1 Block

I was looking into getting a b17a head to match with my b18c1 block. I've already done a search and i found little information about that setup. I was looking for anybody that has or had some experience with this setup. Any information at all would be awesome...

Thanks for the help.

Why would you get a b17 head over a b18c1 head?, the intake ports are a much more efficient design on the b18c1 head, they are prolly easier to find too

Not to mention smaller combustion chambers = more comression = more power, just save the money and get hte GSR head ported and polished.
