Gearing is what you need.

Yes it will bolt up, yes it will work.
Should move the torque curve a to the lower end of the rev range.
Make sure you get the gasket on the right way around. (will bolt up upside down, but blocks an oil gallery)

I've got a 1.6 bottom end/gti head.
Worth it? Perhaps.
Personally I think a standard g16b will do everything you need, without the complications of the head swap.
