86 CRX stock head swap?
Hey guys. My CRX is and 86 SI model all stock all the way around except for a ghetto intake made by the previous owner. Needs a clutch kit and head gasket. Since im going to have the head off anyways i was wondering if i could swap the head out with something that has the Spark plugs in the center of the cylinders (hemi) and has 16 vales instead of 12 without too many mods to the block/head.
I believe the CRX came with the EW4 in that model. Any help or knowledge about this particular swap? or do i have to do a complete engine swap? If i have to do a complete swap (which i dont really want to do right now) i already have the engine, 5 speed transaxle, harness and ECM that i want.

did somebody say, HEMI?
but on a more serious note, there are literally tons of options there. Unless you have some very specific power goals or something there is no way I would mess with swapping to a different head or anything like that. There are a lot more useful modifications you could make.
