Um, by the same logic, Honda doesnt want K20's in CX hatches either....
A lot of people put B16 heads on LS blocks. It's actually a great upgrade.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Default

the zc is a dohc dseries,

you can't swap b with d, but you can swap d with d, the zc dohc is the only d dohc,
but yes you can swap it onto sohc d block.

no such thing as dseries dohc vtec though.

It is also available in sohc and no, it's not the only D series dohc. I believe the D16A1 is the other.

Agreed. My friend had an LS-VTEC CRX that blasts the quarter an 12.5 seconds all-motor which I have witnessed myself. Oh yeah, it's his daily driver too... nothing unreliable about it.

Yes many people have done this. It is a simpe procedure using wood screws and a touch of jb weld. If i was to do this swap I would definatly get a new head gasket. You should just search. Many threads on this. Good luck with the swap! -Dustin

That setup you posted is a great advertisement for sohc CONVERSION to dohc. It looks like it runs great.

not everyone cares about speed or how much power they gain.

some people just want to try new things and see what they can come up with. it will also get alot of attention from others that its a unquie setup.
