Easy question, just need the "slang" name

What do you call an engine with a b18a long body with a b16 head on it? I'm trying to get some information on this swap (hp, torque, and how to do it), and want to know what keywords to look for in finding a good site on this. I know a d15 with a d16 head is called a Mini-Me; so is the b18 with b16 head a Frankenstein? If anyone can give me any help it'd be appreciated.

thanks for such a quick response I appreciate it.
For some reason I thought the LS/Vtec was a b17 long body and a b18a (or b18c) vtec head. Thanks again.

Frankenstein. THe other Franky is the B20Vtec with a CRV bottom end with a B18 head.

B16A1/2/3/4 vtec
B17A1 vtec
B18A1 not
B18B1/2 not
B18C1 vtec
B18C 3/4/5/7 vtec

You can use any vtec head for a frank.
