Default DOHC Conversion

Searched it up, but i cant find anything :S
I have a DOHC ZC head sitting in my Garage, will this head bolt up to a D16A6?
Any special modifications required? I have heard its possible a couple times, then other times i hear it isnt...
Thanks!

it's possible. but isn't worth it. the water jacket doesn't line up exactly, the cam gears don't really work right with the A6, and the combustion chamber is so big compared to the A6 you end up with around 8.25:1 compression.

so basically, no it won't work. or rather it will, but nowhere near as well as a stock A6.

Just try to find a ZC block, you should be able to find one for a good price.
