Default a2 head in 08 civic si

Before I say anything else, Yes I know the z3 is a better head, slightly. But I wanted to know is there anything else besides the IM that i need to change out to make the a2 head work in the 08 SI's. Long story short, I have a built k24/k20a2 that i want to put in a fa5. So any info on this will help.

you will have to cut your RBC manifold to fit.

you will also need a CRV mount, dont remember if it's the driver or passenger side. all the Z3 sensors and wire harness need to be swapped onto the frank as well.
