what problems are you having I just finished the same swap. I have a SOHC ZC with a Z6 head and it runs great.
 
a zc has 130, unless you got a a1 or a9 or w.e i dont think its worth it. and a zc headis better i think.
 
ok i swaped for vtec cuz the sohc zc motor was not. the problem is it ideas fine for a min then boghs down then it will idea fine again the bogh down again and when i rev up it goes why down and sometimes kills its self . so far i have looked for a vaccum leak didnt find none,replace plugs and wire,changed ecu,and check to make sure i had everything hooked up right. so i have no idea what else it could be?
 
ok i took that oil jet out and still ant running right. it is acking like all the cyclenders and firing it died on me three times just going around the block. so any more ideas? and it smokes out of the exhaust its white smoke. also do u guys run just reg. gas or do u use pre. with your mini's
 
ok i should have done some research before tryin this lol but i have been seein that people are saying i need a adjustable cam gear and after market injectors, is this true
 
If you are blowing white smoke out your exhaust, that's indicative of coolant. I would check your head gasket.

And do some searching. Phyregod already told you what to look for. There are tons of articles on here and other sites that will tell you what you need and how to do it.
 
for injecotrs, maybe like 310cc for stock set up but anymore isnt needed. as for white smoke. comp.test it and check your oil for white stuff, and your puttin in a single cam zc? im confused to what your doing again
