Yes it will work and yes you can use a stock ecu. I put a D16Y7 head on a D16A6 and ran it with a unchip ecu. I think you will need a new timing belt. I use a belt for a 94 civic ex and it fit. If you need any more info just ask.

You should just need a Y7 timing belt (The Z6 has the same number of teeth) and make sure that you pull the oil jet out of the block so you have the proper oil pressure in your engine. 96-00 heads have the oil jets in the head, so when using an 88-00 non-VTEC block, you must remove it.
