Craig,
Yes, if the engine needs a total rebuild, you might just as well do it to a clapped out B20. You'll get some more power, although, you fuel consumption will also go up a bit. If the rest of that B18 is still good, however, (good oil pressure, no alarming noises) measure the cylinder bores, and if they are not dramatically out of round, you may be able to get away with a hone, new rings, and some head work.
Bob S.
