Will it - yes - People use Ls crank and rods all the time in b18c blocks
I wouldn't purchase that kit personally though. Stock/oem crank is the best choice.

Is the b18c block the same height as the ls?? I think it should work, but the compression might be diff?

As long as you match your crank to your rods it's fine for height. Pistons decide your compression nothing else. You can mill the head and/or block and get a little more compression but not much. Also flat faced valves can bump compression or a different head gasket. These things don't play a very big role though. Might be able to jump a 9:8:1 to 10:0:1/10:1:1 The ls has a longer stroke then a gsr that's why they always produce higher torque. This combo gives you the stroke of an Ls motor with the strength of a gsr motor in one.

I agree with everything he said except for the compression part.

Crank, rods and pistons all determine compression.

LS crank and pistons with b16 rods will have less compression, likewise ls rods+pistons on a b16 crank will produce lower compression. All of these are important.

You cant say that destroking a car will keep the compression the same


Anyways Op, play around with this compression calculator to find out the range you want to be in.

To answer original post, yes this will work. Not worth the money. Spend it elsewhere and go OEM LS crank
