enigne question

Oh, I think it'll bolt on.
OTOH, the compression ratio, unless you change out the pistons will be ~6.8:1. Too low even for a turbo!
Then there's the issue of crankcase ventilation. The 16V head has no provision for this and neither does the JH block. You'd probably spend a lot of time blowing out seals.
