im sure this has been covered over and over in other forums, but since ive started browing THIS forum, no other forums are worth it. plus its late and im tired 
i would like to swap a DOHC head onto my stock '90 SI cylinder block. i dont know what will fit on there, and what would be required to do such a thing. i assume it will need the dizzy and ecu for sure, but dont know what else. im NOT interested in the headache of putting a v-tec head on there... too much wiring makes Stavros a sad boy (i hated doing a dx to si swap in my previous car)
So here are my requests:
1) car the head comes out of (and maybe the engine code too, so it sounds like i know what im talking about later on)
2) parts required
3) details that I might overlook while doing such a job
4) if this swap is worth it?
number 4 is important, cuz i dont want to spend my $$$ on something that will give me only negligible benefits.
i plan on rebuilding the engine as soon as my rings blow (car has high mileage, but im still gonna oil her up regularly) and while i rebuild, i figure i might as well let the top-end breathe a little better, and have a bit more flexibility with my timing than a SOHC can give.
