b20 and ls heads are identical unless you happen to come across a jdm b20 p8r head which has 84mm combustion chambers and vtec size intake valves. what you're proposing to do is basically a stock b20.

b18b blocks are relatively stronger only because their sleeves arent one piece like the b20's.

All you seem to be doing is switching the block to a b20. It's perfectly fine and safe. Your car will have more oomph but overall it won't be that much faster.

In all honesty I'd leave your car alone, and just ride it out, save your money for routine maintenance.
