it sounds like you mean putting a non-vtec head on a vtec motor. if i'm not mistaken, that should lower your compression slightly. totally do-able though

Other way around. Vtec head on non-vtec motor. I have a LX with D16Y7 motor, I want to put a vtec head on it from a EX (D16Y8 motor)

gotcha. lots of folks call that the mini-me swap, and its supposedly pretty sweet. i might end up doing that with my winter beater one of these days
