Default B17a Head + B18c1 Block

I was looking into getting a b17a head to match with my b18c1 block. I've already done a search and i found little information about that setup. I was looking for anybody that has or had some experience with this setup. Any information at all would be awesome...
Thanks for the help.

stock US GSR engine puts out 10.1 cr
putting a B16A head on withh lower the CR to about 9.8...almost perfect for turbo compression.

check out the CR calculator here:
