Head swap. From mech to hyd.

Hi,
 Where to start, firstly I've bought a 1.8 dx cylinder head from eBay. It was sold as a 1983 1.8 dx head. So I've stripped it down completely and discovered it has hydraulic tappets. Before I go through all thats necessary to recondition it I'd like to know if it's compatible with my block ?

Secondly, if it is. what it involved in removing and replacing valve guides. In the existing ones the valves are like the proverbial in a bucket. The car, a 1983 8v in Lhasa green uses quite a lot of oil which I don't mind but would like to improve. Any advice anyone can give on this subject would be most welcome.
