Wow that's a terrible fucking setup.
Stock for stock, the B16 head will outflow the B18C1 head. So putting on a more restrictive head makes no sense.
The B16 has no torque, so it needs a B16/B18C1/B18C5 tranny to get the thing moving, not the long gears of an LS transmission.
If you want to abuse something, go buy an Escort.
