Default B20B/LS Head swap... Possible? Beneficial?

Here's what Ive been thinking... I want some more power out of my B20B, but dont want to get into boost quite yet. I've heard of people swapping the camshafts with LS cams and getting a nice little bump in power from that. I was thinking, why not swap the whole LS head, if its possible. I figured, if you can keep the bottom end power and torque from the B20, then add the high end power from the LS head, it should make out to be a good motor with similar power figures as the B20Z. Conserns I have about it though are about the deck height and pistons. I think the B20's deck height is a little taller than the LS is, so would I have to swap in LS pistons to correct this? Here's the main question... Has anyone done a build like this yet?

If you plan on doing any non-vtec head swap the only one worthwhile is to source a P8R head and swap it on.
