Default Non vtec head on vtec block

I got a 94 accord EX w/ a messed up head. Can I use a cylinder head from a 94 LX non vtec head and put it on my vtec block? My brother says yes and I say no. Who's right? is this doable?

Yes ecu of course. What I meant is, is it going to be a bolt on type thing, or will it require modifications to make it fit.
