I think that's too much for a sohc vtec head. You can get yourself a low mileage JDM D15b Vtec with that price. I would check around the honda-tech classifieds, but just my opinion.

See if you can get it down to like $50 with all parts and valve cover. If not find one somebody might have lying around for that.
