yup...you can get a B16A2 head on a LS integra bottom end. it's called an LS/VTEC. stock (meaning no internal engine mods) LS/VTECs usually put down like 160-170 depending on intake, header and exhaust mods. you'll need an external line running from the block to the head though to keep the oil running to the head. you'll need some ARP rods for the B16 head.

don't really know where you can get tbe B18A/B blocks in england though...locally, they cost like 300-500 US $ for just the short block (complete block with pistons, no head, no tranny, no mounts...etc.,). here's a link to clubsi NA (non-aspirated) forum discussing the LS/VTEC or CRVTEC setup and what is needed to accomplish the buildup. hope this helps out...

this second link gives a tuning guide for NA setups, also from clubsi.com:
