16v/8v hybrid motor

[UrGTI@aol.com]

I recently picked up a free 1.8 16v shortblock that had ate its bearings . I 
wish to use the pistons and or block and run a 8v head on top of it . This 
will be strictly race motor running on the "good" gas . 
Now I hear the TT drag rabbit had some similar setup so I figured I could try 
to duplicate it myself for some cheap thrills . 

I would like to know if I use the 16v block what the compression would be and 
if I need to swap out the intermediate shaft to run a distribtor in there . 

Also could I use the 8v oil pump since it will be a solid lifter head .

Will a stock igniton support such high compression?

And if I really want to get silly can NOS be used in a high compression 
enviornment?

I really dont care for longevity just speed . 

Dont fret this will be used in my 79 rabbit not my "S" . Any tranny tips 
would be appreciated too .
