type r head, has a slight port job. i would call it a clean up job, rather than a port job! you can get a b16 head, and sendt it to get a fuul port job and valve angle job

If I get a B18C head with a nice Port Flow p&p job wouldn't it be a better head to use on a B20 block?

just a side note- if you use the stock b20 bottom end with a vtec head, cut the valve reliefs on the pistons.

you'll only need to do this if you're using a b20z(stock bottom end) with a b16 head with ctr cams(you can use itr cams, gsr, or b16 cams without cutting the valve reliefs)! if you're using a gsr head on a b20z block, you'll be needing to open the valve reliefs in order to use any cams other than first gen b16 cams! i speak fom my own experince on my b20z bottom end!
