Didn't TURNS101 stuff an MZR into an NB?

I have a 00 NB with a B6(original JDM car) since it comes directly from there and was bought used by me in Japan.
I went through the complete forging process now and can proudly say that its internally the same as the US spec pre 93 internally however the block is not the same. No oil ports and does have a different head than the US cars pre 93.
However it still doesnt have VVT and cannot fit ,8 head since I have both a BP 04 and the B6 00 NB.
The gassket is still the same for the head on the B6 though and will take or use a older B6 turbo manifold design.
Dont be a retard and try a swap of the heads, its like trying to fit your genetals in a toaster, you know it wont work , or be a good idea, but still you get the local village idiot whom will still give it a swing!
Trannys on the B6 even in the NB is the same as the NA and I have swapped the 6 speed on the 00 Nb with the B6..so trannys can swung all years and models round!
May the force be with you if you wish to continue with HEAD SWAP!
