dont ghetto rig something as important as that. if you're so concerned, sleeve the block and you'll know its good to go. as for the girdle, golden eagle and other companies make girdle kits which would be a better solution to taking one off a b18c. installing the oil squirters is not going to be easy. you'll have to drill into an oil passage, tap it, then install them. and you still might have to bend them a little to clear the longer stroke of the b18a/b. just upgrade the pistons and rods and you wont need them.
and since noone's mentioned it yet....
