Default Z6 head swap

I should be getting a ef sedan in the next few days
its an lx trim and im thinking about the possibilities
during my years of dreaming about having a car and not being able to afford one ive devoted most of my energy researching b-series and k-series because in a perfect world i would have one
but im not financially capable of that at the moment
so i was wondering about doing a z6 vtec head "mini swap" on my engine. My mechanical experience is pretty minimal but id say i know my **** as far as that can take me without having the actual work hours on a car
i was wondering if anybody could give me a brief play by play on what it would take to do a z6 head swap and how worthwhile the gains would be.

Its pretty much the same thing as if you were replacing a headgasket by yourself. Unbolt the intake and exhaust manifolds, take the head off, get the new head and put it on with new gaskets and timing belt, mount the distributor, chip the ecu or convert to obd1. Go to the FAQ's in the stickies and they have plenty of write ups about it. Im doing the same thing but with a mild build on top of it.
