Default B16b cracked..Swtiching parts?

Well my b16b block took a **** and im just trying to figure out what be the easiest to switch parts over to b16 or GSR. Im trying to save as much money as possibly since its my DD, so im trying to figure out what parts will swtich over and what not.

Build: 81.5 Bore, GSR crank, high comp pistons, skat rods, ACL Bearings

What would it take to put those in a b16 block? I heard the strokes are not the same making it difficult to do
or
Would it be easier to put them in a gsr and bore it.5mm

And parts i might think about replacing while i have the motor out?

Any input and help will be greatly appreciated Thanks!

itll be cheaper and easier to fit a gsr crank in an LS block then putting a gsr crank in a b16 block and if you get get a gsr block you already have a gsr crank. sooo obvious choice to me is the LS

If you put it back in another B16 and swap the head for your current B16b head, you basically have the same thing you have currently. Although if you'd like a little more displacement, get an LS block and a new set of rods. That would probably be the best result and cost about the same as another B16.
