if you're running GSR pistons you'll need to run a gsr head to maintain the same amount of power. using the B16 head will lower compression a little unless you use different pistons like ITR pistons.

As for the post about deck height, that doesn't make a difference. You can interchange PR3 and P72 heads at will, given the matching intake manifold.

Let me clarify, Cause I still don't know, and would like to--I know the manifolds themselves aren't the same, I meant about the bolt patterns...won't any B-series mani bolt up to this guy's block?

I already said in my last post, no, intake manifolds are NOT interchangeable. The stud pattern is different through B16A based PR3 heads, non-VTEC B18A PR4 heads, and B18C1 based P72's.
The exhaust manifolds are fully interchangable.
