Default jdm b18c head on a jdm b16a block

what do you think about it? is this a good move or not? how do you think it will run? i have a gsr motor but needed to rebuild the block but a great offer came by me for this b16a block clean *** hell for a lil next to nothing. so i thought i save a lil money now get my car back on the road and just get the gsr blocc ready for turbo!was this a good move?what do you think i could expect out of this motor?thanks for you time

or

It will work fine
You will gain compression
You will not lose flow

I hope you know the intake manifold flange pattern is different than b16/itr, so if it doesnt come with a manifold, you need to get one.
I would not run the p72 ecu with a b16 bottom end - run a p30 map if your ecu is chipped

c/r goes up
youll probably make more power than a stock b16
get an s2/blox/edelbrock intake mani and run a p30

watzup bro. ive been running that setup for awhile cuz my block blew from a bad oil pump. anyways everything should be ok. all i got on my head is some skunk2 cams. its pretty quick. fast enough to beat stock k20. 1.6 taking out a 2.0 . not sayin k20 aint nothin. but it's pretty impressive when you have a 1.6 beat a 2.0 . yea it has some cams, but it's potential is not met due to the CR.
