Default can i put a y8 head on a ZC block?

i just aquired a fully built ZC block. I have an extra y8 head and i was wondering if this sorta mix/match setup will work. i have a 96 civic coupe converted to obd1..if that helps...

supposedly, the z6 head flows a little better and the y8 manifold flows better. Unless you messed up your head and need a replacement, dont worry about changin them
