Yes! It will work and it's a good combo too when used with a Skunk2 manifold (for a GSR/P72 head). I hope this guy has changed the stock B17A pistons for something better if he's planning to stay NA.

nah it is possible, as long as you use a Skunk2 manifold on that GSR head, everything will be cake.

yes he can, but it's best to keep the orginal cam caps (journals) with the respective head. But if you don't have those...i understand.
