No. I read your last post, I personally would put the B18C head on the B20 and sell the B16 motor. The B18 has a spun bearing so the bottom end is junk already (unless you rebuild it) and the B16 is a comlete running motor, so if you take the head off of it then you have a B16 and B18 bottom end you really cant do much with. Put the B18 head on the B20, sell the B16 and LS tranny and the money you get from that will give you money to do the CRVTEC and get a GSR or B16 tranny.
