Your bottom end will be fine with that head. The head is not going to make that much more power than stock if it is staying NA.

Re: D-series Head HELP

the d16y7 block should be the same as the y8 block. so you'd just be building a y8...

You can def. do it. A buddy of mine put a motor like that together. It wasn't impressive or fast but it ran good. What can i say he was in love with SOHC motors.

The Y7 block is not the same as the Y8 Block.

But yeah im gonna use the Stock Y8 head i have, i need a vtec solenoid though, y8 intake manifold, y8 dizzy, and i need to get it wired for vtec. But im not sure if it is even worth it.
