At a glance of the engine specs, I can tell you that the d16y5 (HX) head is different from the d16y8 (EX). This includes the HX having only primary and secondary rocker arms, while the EX has an extra mid rocker arm. If you are thinking of a way around this, I would have to guess the only way is to replace the HX head with the EX. Whether this is possible, or simple, I couldn't tell you.
Another point of interest, if your HX is a manual transmission version, it wieghs the same as a CX hatchback according to Helms. Just something to consider if you catch the swap bug.

Definately need to get some cash flow so I can get me one of those helms manuals... I must be the only person who knows about cars as much as I do without owning one - kind of embarassing actually
At anyrate, I do have the manual version of the HX (i wasn't aware that it came in auto)... and I'm definately considering the swap (B18C5). Once again, I need the cashflow though. Damn money. haha
Once again, gonna try to spout off some knowledge from memories long ago - isn't the CX the lightest civic made? I mean, it's practically got nothin on it. And how does my coupe even come close to being that light, apart from having the 11 lb carbon alloy rims? It's got power everything, and power steering, etc, etc ad nauseum, while the CX doesn't. Hell, it's below even a DX hatch in terms of bells and whistles, right? So maybe explain to me? I always enjoy learning about my car, cuz HXs don't pop up in AF too often
Thanks for bustin out that helms btw... what a good guy!
