Default installing a y8 head on z6 block.

I've searched, but its just all motor swaps. I buying this head from a seller and what i want to know is it straight up bolt on? What problems is there? I know i have to wire up a vtec controller since my car was a 1.5l non vtec. Should i go ahead and buy a metal head gasket? Thanks for an info.

i think he has a z6 block without a head and can get a y8 head, and he has a dx/lx with a b7 so he thinks a vtec controller will solve his problem when he should just wire up vtec and run a p28 like a normal honda
