Default can a Y7 head have VTEC added to it?

alot of people do moni me swaps by adding a vtec head to their non vtec sohc block...
is it possible to just make the 7y head into vtec?

i think it is possible, you would just need the cam and all the vtec internals. But imo it would not be worth the hassle, i would just get a vtec head.

well the reason is, i wanted to buy new valves springs retainers and get it ported and get a valve job on it and new cams for the y7 head so i could just swap it right in

Where would the VTEC solenoid go on the Y7 head?

No.

Well, maybe yes. Given enough $$$ anything is possible. It would be easier to just pay for a Y8 head.
