Look and see if there is a casting number on the front face of it. If someone doesn't know it right off, that casting number will help. Should say P??

Doesn't look like a Z6 head. Looks more like a Y7 head.

JDM D15B is what I am finding.

One other search pulled up Z6.

Both of them came up when I Googled it. Wasn't sure which it was so I edited my last post.

a little off topic, what did you end up doing with the 323?

P08 is the same a Z6 head, there are no major differences

That is a non vtec D head. The valvetrain is different so don't let anyone tell you it is a vtec head. It doesn't have the Lost motion assemblies or the assembly for them. But the orientation of the spark plug tubes tells me if it is a usdm head then it is in fact a d16y7 head.
