Set the carbs normally and slip the clutch in 4th as you turn the key off. This is standard for stock high compression motors on modern gas, I've even had a B20E do it for a few seconds.

A combustion chamber massage and a modern cam wouldn't hurt. Check your squish is less than .045" too!

I don't like the B18 pcv valve either, I 'd use the B20 metering nipple + I don't care which direction you run the hoses.
