1997 civic cx D16y7 to D16y8
I have a chance to buy a y8 engine from an auto car with 123,000 Km for $250 but the engine only comes with Intake manifold and exhaust manifold and Dizzy my question is .......
Can I use parts like the alternator from the y7
And would I be needing the ECU from the 1998 ACURA 1.6EL Automatic or keep my y7 ECU I have tried googling and searching on forums but I can not seem to find a definitive answer
Also can I use the stock d16y7 tranny with the D16y8

Thanks HPH here are the details
the Y8 is coming out of an 1998 automatic Acura EL and being swapped into my 1997 Civic cx which is Manual Thinking it may be a wiser choice to just order a D16a (d16y7 clone non vtec) for now with plans to do a mini me swap soon after. as the D16a comes with engine and tranny for $649.99

Swapping that D16Y8 into your car is easy. Plus, you will have the coolest looking valve cover of any other D-series engine
