Default gsr head/b16a1 block, HELP

i was wondering if there is any way to put a gsr(0BD1-2) head on a b16a1 (0BD0) block (in a 90 civic dx) and keep everything 0BD0 without doing a lot of work. like would just putting an 0BD0 distributor on the head work? if not what would i have to do to make it work.

also, my plans for the motor are fully built for street/strip in and out. i want to be able to (mildly) drive it to work and around town but also be able to beat most of the other crap around here when really laying into it. would there be a noticable difference between a b16a1 and gsr head if both were built the same (port/polish, valve job, cams, etc.)? keep in mind im going for high compression right now (no forced induction/nitrous)

theres ALOT of wiring work involved. just adding my b18b into my 91 hatch and keeping it obd 0 was a huge pain, but adding vtec and secondary butterfly control wont be much fun either. it can be done though. i used my stock civic wiring harness and had to cut into it, add 2 more injectors, swap some dizzy wires around, and some more things that i just cant remeber now. i do have a civic si harness if you want to buy it, which will cut down on alot of the leg work. let me know if you have any more questions, which im sure you will.

ahh plus the knock sensor. youre gonna have to swap alot of the sensors out or cut off the ends and solder them over, cause obd0 uses circlular style plugs, obd1 is square style.

thanks for the help so far...i was planning on buying the hasport wire harness thats already converted (i think thats what it said at least) its not converted for a b16 with a gsr head though...just an 0BD0 b16 if you know anyone that did a swap using that harness let me know if they think it was worth it

Yo I did my convertion of the gsr head with a b16a2 and made it obd0-obd1. But if you need question you can ask me.

He still can use a gsr head just change the stock IM to a skunk2 IM. And when you wire it up, wire it like a b16a obd-o. (and theres probably something I'm forgetting to)
