Well it kind of depends what you want to do....

If you want to make a simple swap without any rebuilding, then buy a used GSR block and slap it in. Although a cheaper alternative would be to just get a LS block.

However if you want to build a block with forged pistons & rods you can keep your B16a block and stroke it with those tasty TECH43 pistons, Eagle LS rods, LS/B20 crank. It will make more power than a stock GSR block because of more displacement and the higher compression.

It just comes down to money and what you want to do with the motor...

If you're referencing the term "stroke" by Clarence Carter's definition, then no.

I've personally looked into the "2 liter B16" and will be building one this summer. Yes the B16 has oil squirters.
