You want the bigger block (B20) but swapping the head won't really do too much for you unless you're swapping it for a VTEC head.

no, no - you're missing the point.
neither the b18a, nor the b20 have vtec heads.
if you have a b20b/z, just use it with its original head.

Use the B20 block, period. More displacement will get you more torque. But I wouldn't do a head swap unless it's with one of the VTEC motors (B16*, B18c*)
