Putting a y7 block in my d16y8 97 civic
Ok so I bought a d16y7 engine bc it was cheap. I used my y8 intake head and everything.basically I'm just putting the y7 block in it. My question is what wiring am I gonna be missing on my block that I have plugs for already on my y8 harness.

You're still missing the knock sensor that needs to be on the block, if you have both motors there than you can see what needs to be on the y7 short block by comparing both of them side by side.

Same block minus the pistons and oil pan (steel vs aluminum) so it'll be fine. You'll also need to transfer the knock sensor over to the Y7 block (the threads are already there). If you wanted you could swap over the oil pan as well but it's not necessary.

I did transfer the oil pan. But I can't seem to find the threads for the knock sensor.
