If you have the money for a B18 why don't you try and frankenstein.
Here's Vito's Combo (I haven't done the full research but these guys will be able to throw in tidbits)
-B20B Block
-B18 Head
-B16 Tranny
My buddy in the states had this potent setup in the states he ran 12.5 ALL MOTOR !!!!!!!!

I'm pretty tempted to lock this up based on the Perf/Susp forum rules 
but I'll leave it open for now.
I'm pretty clear about the rules I think so unless you have a very specific question to ask other than what shop (it's a given that we have affiliates for a reason - we feel they reasonably skilled and qualified at what they do and they have a proven track record of successful swaps).
Yes, B16 tranny (hydro in your case) will mate to a B18 block. Also, Leitner makes these trick-*** alum mounts for the engine - seeing as how the stock mounts on these cars are getting to be quite old it's a good idea to go with new ones.

Not your problem LilVito, the information is appreciated. 
It's more a matter of getting repetitive questions for a lot of new users who have yet to discover the search feature. Just want these specific forums to stop being the kindergarden of the internet, that's all. What shop do I go to is NOT a valid question anymore. Crack open the yellowpages and ask for work references from the shops, and go visit their working quarters. I mean a shop who can't keep their floor clean won't be able to keep you swap clean neither. They might lose their tools inside your combustion chamber

Well the place I mentioned doesn't do the work there they just sell the motor's and parts.
I know Altech is pretty reputable with the installs and I would say to trust these guys to do the work on the install.
Once again I'm sorry for the message before.
