Sure you may need to prop it a little so it doesn't fall off. I would recomend putting the b16a on top of the b18c though, the b18 is a little more expensive to replace if it breaks from the fall.

I guess my attempt at being a smartass didn't work.
Yeah the b16 head will bolt on the b18c block with no problems

Yeah I believe that it's called a poor mans type R. Not sure though I'm not too keen on the hybrid swaps.
From what I understand the b16 head flows a little better and when put on a b18c block it raises the comression a little. Also the gs-r cams in the b16 head are good too.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

you may want to specify your question a little better next time. Yes like they said before a b16 head will fit onto a b18c and its called a poor man's type r

it lowers the compression, b16 combustion chambers are bigger than the gsr, now about flowing better there have been many threads and arguements about this, i think someone actually flow tested both heads and posted charts, i forgot who won. LOL

If both heads are to remain stock I'd keep the P72 GS-R head because it flows just fine.

Add an intake manifold of your choice like a Skunk2, etc. and you'd have more hp than the B16A head because of the aforementioned loss in compression.

If you plan on adding higher CR pistons then I'd say get the CTR slugs and then use the B16A head because CTR pistons and a GS-R head = too high of CR for daily driving on Cali **** pump gas.

Lastly:

Erick Aguilar, the owner of the world's quickest N/A Honda, runs the GS-R head and worked over GS-R intake manifold.

Yeah I was just regurgitating something I heard. I'm sure both head shine in their own way. Both would be good IMO.
