It's probably not worth the effort unless you are doing an LS/VTECH swap.

Here are two posts explaining a mini-me swap, both write-ups were in the FAQ section.

basically throwing a vtec head on to a non vtec block. Its not a job for a noob but it can be done and if done right (depending the motor application) you will see some good #'s.
