Default Can I put an LS cylinder head on a b16 block?

Can I put an LS head on a B16a1 block? I've never seen it done before but I'm almost sure that it's possible. It's for a daily driver so I don't care about HP, I just want to know if it'll work. thanks.

I was sure it did, I was going to try to do it tonight but it's a good thing I decided to ask. I think that it doesn't fit because of the oil jets on the b16 block for vtec IDK. Thanks for the info.

seems like if you can do it the other way around it should be possible. i know the dowles are differant. and you have to plug the vtec oil line somehow. just sell it and get an ls short block. you will be happier that way.

let us know what happens if you do try it.
