Default d16y8 zc head swap?

im looking at a zc head from DH for my 2000 civic ex. my question is how serious is the swap, will i have to reprogram my computer.... things like that, any info will help. and is the zc head my best option if im eventually going to turbo?

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
