No you can't put a DOHC head on your SOHC block, you could put a jet engine in your car, but that doesn't mean you should do it.

Like I told you before. I think the Z6 head would be the best, and convert the car to OBD-I.

I know it can be done on 4G63 Mitsubishi engines also. But we aren't on Mitsubishi-Toyota.net. Were talking Hondas here, and on Honda engines you can't do that.

An interesting little tidbit: apparently the browntop ZC and the EW/D15A3 blocks mate with little to no problems, aside the fact that no-one has figured out what timing belt to use yet There was some discussion about it over at redpepperracing.com, but it hasn't been updated for a while. I've been seriously considering buying a ZC head and a D15A3 block and seeing for myself.

Granted, these are both pre-88 engines.
