Default Newbie: ZC SOHC VTEC Motor Specs ???

I just bought a 95 civic ex with a ZC motor swap. the head says vtec and i know it's a SOHC because there's only 1 cam. what motor is this, what's the power and what can i do to it now that its mine.

OK, a little help here????

I can't find any motor listing for this engine, it's supposed to be japanese. i think it's a D series but there's no number cast into the engine.... only ZC. What does that mean.
