Default Will a 1.5 Dx head fit on a 1.6 EX block?

I have a 91 DX with a cracked 1.5 block. There is a cheap 1.6 EX with a good block, but warped head. Can I fit the 1.5 head onto the 1.6 block, or would. I need a new head??

Yes it will fit, the 88-91 heads are all basically the same unless it's the 8 valve variant (which would still physically bolt on without issue BTW). The main difference is in the camshaft and valve springs. For the record, the 92-95 non VTEC 16 valve heads are of the same casting as well so those work just the same with the differnces again being in the camshaft and springs that are used.
