Good G16B heads are VERY rare Tony.
Most people, myself included, hold out looking and then end up buying a brand spanker for $550.

Yes, $550 for a new, bare head. Not worth looking for second hand IMO.

16A Carby is 8 valve.
16B EFI is 16 valve.

Heads and both manifolds are different.

You can fit an A head to a B block and visa versa but you will need to fit the corresponding pistons.

You can fit an 8v head to a 16v bottom end without changing pistons, but a 16v head on 8v block needs a piston swap.

Not sure why you would want a carby and 8v head if you already have a 16v though

If you end up buying a new head and need valves, springs etc yell out as I still have one of my many cracked heads here as a doorstop.
