Default Head swap

I have a D16A9 engine (ED7 DOHC 130bhp), and i can get cheaply B16 head. Will it fit on the D16 block? What else than ECU i will need to complete the swap? I dont want whole engine swap because of registrations problems.
Till froday ill try to place here new phtos of the car - it coming back from the paintjob (new bumpers, removed antena).

B series parts will not work with D series parts. The b16 head will not bolt on to a d16 block. You will have to use the whole swap.

What you can do is swap on a Y8 head to your D16A6 block.

You mean D16Y8 or B16Y8? I want to have 'vtec inside'
If making a swap, what B16 type choose? (B18 swap - BIGGER registrations problems )

no his a9 is dohc the y8 is sohc it won't fit on it, not to mention a loss of power no doubt if he did get it on there, and its d16y8. D only fits D B only fits B H only fits H F only fits F A only fits A, those codes aren't for nothing ja know
