If you run a programmable ECU (Uberdata, Crome, Hondata)you can make necessary timing adjustments there regardless of the type of head you're running.

Oh and also the compression ratio will be dramtically affected/lowered by swapping on a Z6 head because the combustion chambers on the Z6 head are larger than the Y8 ones.
