Default y8 on my crx

Im thinkin about buying a y8 head to do a mini me on my 91 crx si... would I have any problems? Im not too knowledgable about all the obd stuff. Would there be too many differences than with this swap? http://crx.honda-perf.org/articles/z6swap/z6swap.html

This will give you an idea as to what parts are needed.

However, it's for doing a Z6 head swap. If you plan to go FI, then a Z6 is more favorable, due to it's lower compression. Going with the Y8 will give a couple of more hp, and higher compression ratio. However it will make you more dependent on a standalone with FI. Just depends on what your plans are...
