But I'll be replacing those rods in no time soon, for something with a ratio closer to about 1.77:1
The only way to better the ratio is to use a different block, crank and rods (B16A shortblock) or have a deck plate welded on (which requires new custom cylinders, $$$).

Oh, and I paid 600 for the b16 head
You know an entire B16 longblock is only worth around $500, right? The head shouldn't cost more then $300.
