The B16 block has about 7mm lower deck height than other B-series blocks. The crank will bolt in but the rod length will most likely have to be custom. The B16 has an almost perfect R/S ratio. It would be a shame to ruin it. The head flows very well. If you are going to sleeve, sleeve to 84mm. This gives you the ability to hone twice down the road. And you won't need custom pistons or rods. If I were building the motor I would use, Eagle rods, GE sleeves, 84 JE pistons with Swain coatings, B16 head w/ ferrea SS valves and portflow springs.

or just build it with the stock sleeves if they are in good condition.
