The dx and ex use the same block so your pretty much just making your engine turn into a EX from a DX. You will get the same amount of power a EX engine would have or maybe slightly lesser.

Getting a whole engine for $500 is mainly heresay. Yes, there are some good deals around, but everyone with a cx, vx, dx, lx is looking for one so they're hard to find that cheap. A head swap with labor might cost up to a grand installed and you're still not gonna have the power that an EX has. It's not really worth it on a single cam. And no, done right, you're not gonna encounter any problems on an ls/vtec either.
