well if your up for it... start researching "ls-vtec" ...

yes the 2 parts will mate up fine.... but you may want to resurface the head before you place it on the block so you don't end up with leaks....

the vtec conversion kit isn't REQUIRED but it makes a shitload easier to do...and it's completely worth the money

as for the year... as long as it is a B-series... the block and head will match up... so you could do an LS block if you wanted (ready to go shipped for about 600).... so ur options are open

please start researching Ls-Vtec
