Default d16y8 block d15b7 head

I've got a d16y8 block and a d15b7head wasn't sure if the would work together.
Read a few things that said they would but still kinda sceptic. Didn't know if any one had any solid exp. I don't wanna blow anything up..lol but what I've researched and found is if you use a d16 cam and gear with the d15 head it would be fine. But which head bolts do you use and which timing belt and what kinda problems would I be facing. If anyone could help it would be awesome.

It'll work, but it's going to be gutless, that combo is going to be low compression, 8.73:1

Headbolts should be for a D15B7, timing belt will either be for a D15B7 or a D16A6 (I think the latter)

Nope, sorry. Next time someone tells you that try crunching the numbers on it:

This should help get you started. Can't say which head bolts you'll need though.
