Default Z6 or Y8?
I know the D16Z6 head is the SOHC vtec head, but what's the Y8? What's so special about it? I only ask b/c someone told me I should swap one on my D16Y7.

The Z6 is a 92-95 SOHC VTEC.
The Y8 is a 96-00 SOCH VTEC.

The Y8 has a better designed combustion chamber.

What should I expect to pay for a Y8 head? I heard $150-$200 for the Z6.

I have seen an entire engine go for that much.
