Nothing wrong with doing it. The B16 head will yield a little lower compression than the GSR head, that's about it.

Yes, that is fine. You will have to take one or 2 sensors off of your old engine (fan switch, possibly VTEC solenoid since they have different plugs) but it will be a pretty painless swap.
