the machining wont cost more than 50 bucks. all that has to be done to the head is wide holes for the movement of the dowel pins and tap the vtec supply line so it can be plugged.

you don't even need a machine shop to do that.
unfortunately the right size drill bit will cost you $20
you can get a tap and plug pretty cheap, just don't forget to use teflon tape on the plug.

I've done it a couple of times. Works great. Actually my motor was a 1g b16a head on an ls block, ran strong for over 2 years.

Yeah the block needs to be 90+ b18a/b block.
