yes u can bolt your old head to the y8 bottom. the us spec crx's never came with a dohc.

i don't see why he'd have to go with the obd2 conversion. since he will be reusing his head and is only using the bottom end he doesn't need to hook up the knock sensor.

Re: (builthatch)
yea but the y8 is a vtec motor and u are swapping a non vtec head onto it.. is there anything that needs to be done about that also the block out of ur crx si is actually stronger than the y8 block..

there is no problem at all with putting a non-vtec head onto that y8 bottom end. Also, the d16a6 block is not stronger than the y8 block. They are one in the same, and actually, the y8 block is most likely better off due to less years vs. the a6.
