vtec head swapped into an LX been done before???

hey guys and gals,
my buddy works at a honda dealership and they got a 02 si (cdn) ex (us) engine.... it was over heated so the guy got a new engine... the dealership will just give it to me so i was thinking of swapping the head to give my car VTEC... has anyone done this before?

i wouldn't need to get anymore parts, the engine is complete...

thanks in advance

no problem. a vtec head should not be hard to find. I think someone was selling a port and polished vtec head not too long ago.

Good luck.
