Yes, it will fit... aside from distributor, injector, and wiring issues. You can use any SOHC VTEC ZC, D16Z6, or D16Y8 head. They usually float around $100-$150 in good condition.

You can turbo it pretty easily, however engine condition and rear differential stength could be problems.

Have you never seen a locked down 7-11 before? I've seen it a few times, thanks to theft, MIA employees, etc.

Will any of those fit on a D16A6 block?

yeah, z6 yeilds something like a high nine to one compression ratio and y8 is low to mid elevens i think. Just use your a6 manifold and wiring, hook it up to the sohc vtec head, and bam, youve got a mini me.

So maybe the z6 head would be a better choice for a turbo project(lower compression)?

depends on how much boost your planning on running. Anything under 8psi with the stock internals(d16 rods break at right around 200hp, freakin pencil thin if you haven't ever seen them) and with that comp ratio on the d16 should be good, it all depends on what kind of fuel management you plan on running, ive seen high ten to one comp ratio turboed fours running over 10 psi with standalones. Good management does wanders. Go to www.homemadeturbo.com there is a couple guys running turbo set ups on there mini-me frank engines, kick ass site btw.
