it should have a sohc vtec d16y8 engine. so the easiest thing to do would be a y8 head. you could use a z6 head but then you'll have to rewire the obd1 dizzy to work with your obd2 engine harness. not that big of a deal though.

if you want to try and figure out what head you have look at the front of it, get the number letter combo, and compare it to these head codes.
