the Y7 is non-vtec, but you can swap a Y8 head on there later if you want.
it also has slightly lower compression than the Y8, which, I suppose, might be better for turbo-ing. check this thread for some info, and keep an eye out for Tom's thread about his beater build-up. there's also tons more SOHC threads out there. try the search.

I'm thinking you could save a couple hundred bucks and the hassle of pulling motors if you do a little mini-me swap (A Y8 head on the block that's in your car already). I'm pretty sure that will work. good luck.
