ZC DOHC head ... D16A6 block
Possible? I thought I'd ask before I went out lookin for a DOHC head for my 1.6 Engine. I figured it'd be cheaper than going with the B16 swap because everyone's looking for them damn things everywhere. Or should I look for an A1 DOHC head? I'd like to go DOHC without having to buy the whole set

If you were going to use a DOHC head you would want the 2g ZC which suposedly flows beter than the d16a1/ 1g ZC, Some people swap the 2g Zc head onto the 1g ZC block.
but either could work I supose...

Stock out of the box, ZC head is king dick of the D-series. If you're willing to work a head and replace the over-small intake valves, D16A6 shines far and above the others. The V-tech cell phone technology implementation on D-series is useless, and overly hyped for rendering zero gains above what bumping CR commeasurately does for you.
Sad thing is, by the time you've maxxed out a the "shittiest" D-series head, running popular/cheap compressors and the ubiquitous 3 bar MAP sensor, you're already making more power than the transmission can handle. LS swaps out of wrecked cars can be had for $500 if you hunt long enough, those engines come attached to good transmissions.
