1.8L block. Don't waste money on anything else because nothing will give you much of a low end on a 1.6L block. I know from experience too.

yeah shit a BUILT b16 all motor might get 115-120

my STOCK 93 LS put out 121.5hp and 113 torque on the dyno.

1.8 is the way to go for torque

I've actually seen 143 ft lbs of torque on a 1.6 liter block, but yes it's very hard to do, just get a 1.8
