You are better off with the d16y8 head that you already have.

WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much work. and why would u switch from a vtec motor to a vtec motor. only major difference between the 2 is one is obd1 and one is obd2. there are other pros and cons each engine have but basically there the same y8 is newer
