Well you would make less power with that set up, as the D16z6 is a vtec based engine and the D15b7 is not so less power. Usually you would put a d16 head on a d15 block to create a "mini-me" swap. Just curious what was wrong with the original engine?

Well, the original engine run ok, the only problem is burning oil, smoke a little bit, the engine have a 177,000 miles and I try to increase a little bit more power

Do you have a d16z6 currently in your car and you want to swap heads, or do you have a d15b7 currently in your car and you want to swap bottom ends?

Regardless, it will work, but I am just asking.

Gotcha. You might get a little more power from the swap, however, not much I am sure. Again, the swap is possible and all current parts on your car are interchangeable with the D16z6 block.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Bro, My Idea is to use the D16z6 block, put New rod and pistons with more compression ratio (may be 10.0:1) and use my D15B7 Head, ported head and polish Valve
