i just bought a del sol and the guy threw in a zc DOHC head he said it would bolt right up to the block of my d16b7 engine that's in the car, it runs fine right now but Ive got a week or so before i can put it on the road, i was wondering if this is possible before i take the old motor apart and if so what would i need for the swap, are all the sensors the same, ect. i know i will not be using the cam sensor but i will be using it as a plug. any help would be appreciated. if it will not fit what is the value of this seeing as he gave it to me for free i could maybe sell it and use the money on something else

 

O.o a DOHC head will not fit on a SOHC block.

 

but the bolt patterns are all the same, ive seen someone put a z6 head on a zc DOHC block, wouldn't it go the other way also?

 

it is also a d series head, the DOHC is, and all the blocks are the same aren't they

 

The "ZC" is the only DOHC head that will fit on a SOHC block. It's from an old JDM engine that was not sold in the USA. You should see a mechanical fuel pump on it or a place to mount one since the JDM was also setup with a weird dual-carb intake.

The later USA DOHC engines have different blocks, the heads will not swap.
