Well, if you don't use a new headgasket, it will fry itself in a few miles.
The DX head has a fairly low lift cam. I don't think it would be an issue yet, but no promises.

Just on the topic of destroying engines. I downloaded this video, it was probably about 20 mins or so long. They look a crx (can't remember the trim level) that was on its last leg. They drained all of the oil (don't remember if they drained the coolant too or not) and let it run.
It ran for a pretty long time before it finally seized up. It was a pretty funny/entertaining video. Then they just beat the hell out of the car which wasn't cool. But seeing how long that engine ran before it finally died was interesting.
