the zc isnt vtec. the z6 is. i would imagine it would have the same hp as a y7. i am only assuming this. but theres got to be something special about it since its a 1.6 right? my buddy used to have one.

I've never seen an engine stamped D16ZC. The ZC came in 3 versions, VTEC and non VTEC sohc, and the non VTEC dohc, so please stop assuming. If it is the VTEC model then yes it will have similar specs to the D16Z6. WHy would you want to swap the head?

I checked again...the stamp is "D16ZC"...SOHC...yes it has the vtec selinoid....it is NOT the DOHC non-vtec....ok....next: why the head swap: the block got hungry and ate some valves....
