D16A1 head on D17A1 engine??
I have a 2002 Civic with a D17A1 engine and was wondering if it is possible to swap the head with that of a DOHC D16A1. Any info on this would really help. Thanks.

Why would you be doing this? I highly doubt that it would fit, plus the headaches of wiring would be too much. Although the D17 is a "D-series", it is very different.

no it won't fit, but even if it would, not much power would be gained and the amount of work is defiantly going to cost more money the the whole car....
rember the 01+ civic/02 integra engine spin the otherway around then usually expected from other honda motors, also intake is on a differnet side
if you want a hybrid grab the RSX drivtrain, it should work in theory without a problem

Are there any DOHC heads that will fit on this engine? I don't want to invest $8k for an engine swap (RSX engines will cost about $6, and then I would also have to take half the front end with me, and have lots of work done since the engine spins the other way.) I just want a head swap.
