LX to EX head swap

I'm not completely sure how an head looks like

There's a good price on this VTEC cylinder head on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

Is this the right item I would need for the swap???

oh and its not something youd wanna buy on ebay because (especially with a honda motor) there are clearances and measurements that are suppose to be within thousanths of an inch and you wont be able to know unless your a machinist with the right tools

Vantage should not be trusted
not trying to thread jack, but i was wodnering for hard the mini-me setup is to install on the LX with an EX head? I have done the old mini-me, d16z6 head on d16a1. Also, does any1 know how high it gets the compression? because the d16a1 mini-me ended up making more HP than a z6 because of higher compression. Wondering if the same thing happens here?

it does raise the compression considerably, it will be faster than a motor that came with vtec from the factory.....mini me is doing a head swap to put vtec into an originally non vtec motor.... as for how hard it is...check out the diy
