yes it should fit and you need a y7 cam gear.

just to make sure the heads stamped with a p2a-5 is this a zc head i know it came off a zc block but it had a y7 intake manifold on it, could i use all my stock springs and lifters and vavles and stuff like that, whats the difference in the lift between the 2 cams?

they probably tried to do a mini-me but with a non-vtec head is there a vtec solonoid on the back of the head.

a6/zc cam will get you the missing bottom end power in your 1.5l. it's still overall gutless, the power band feels more equal, as apposed to the "vtec" feel that happens at about 4g's that most people feel with their 1.5l. I'm currently rocking a d15b1 with an a6 cam with y8 cam gear, no problems, feels great!

you can either slap on a d16y8 or d16z6 head and that would be your best bet.
