The header will work just fine. And so will the driveshafts.
Only thing is, if I recall correctly gsr deck height is slightly taller than b16 block, thus it should be just a nudge longer, which in turn should work in your advantage.

^+1 for rockauto for oem parts. 
Just recently had to replace the igniter in my wifes 94 accord wagon. Napa wanted $300, honda wanted $290. I bought it from rockauto for $80 shipped to my door. Arrived in 4 business days of ordering.

Lol you saw me in a new car like 3 months ago. All my parts got sold to persia and we completed the project with high compression pistons and stayed na. Not sure about Mike, I believe he's piecing it together still.

I've shifted my project a bit. To keep the cost down, I'm going to turbo my current B16 to around 200whp on megasquirt and daily drive it for fun. Eventually when I get tired of that, I'm getting out of the Honda stuff. At least for a while. I still have a soft spot for turbo volvo's... 
Keeping my LS block, B20 block, spare B16 head and all associated parts for a future build/project. Probably a sleeper ultra lightweight eg-hatch.

Also, read the thread carefully and you will figure out what you need. Throwing few extra thousand at it, you could have a k swap....just my opinion. Because you will probably end up having somebody else assemble the motor thus the final cost will be higher.
Also, by reliable it could mean many things and with engine building its hard to go on budget because you end up saying "well since im doing all this why not...." so you end up changing bearings for mains and rods, get new pistons, cams and valvetrain then all the machine work...on top of it all, you still need to assemble and install. Wont be cheap bud.
