Default J30A1 heads on a J30A5?

Is this possible? My car apparently has bent valves and according to the Honda dealership the heads and valves need to be replaced on my J30A5 from my 2006 Accord. I cant seem to find any heads for this motor online or even a motor to purchase besides paying an arm and a leg from the dealership. I do see parts though for the J30A1 and I was wondering if this head swap is possible. Any help is appreciated.

Not possible without a lot of additional work due to the headers being cast into the head. Also, the A5 has a better VTEC system and makes more power.

Thanks a ton for the info. I'm probably going to be forced into paying dealership prices.

Anything aftermarket I should consider?

Where have you looked for used heads? car-part.com is a great start.
