I have a 2000 civic ex bone stock d16y8 that the bottom end is trashed.
I have access to a d16y7 what does it take to swap from a y8 to a y7.
Also I've came across a lot of sites that sell engines who do you recommend and who do you stay away from?

I may be wrong, but the bottom end of a Y8 and Y7 are the same?

the top end is the difference

Swap the blocks, every thing else stays the same.

I'll be a little more specific the y8 is coming out of the car.
The y7 is going in.
I want to reuse the y8 harness and auto trans that is already in the car.
What ecu, intake, distributor etc?

I was under the impression there was a difference in the pistons?

I wouldn't do that. IMO, it's much easier to swap the blocks.

You'd need to source a auto DX ECU. but everything else is bolt on, however you may run into a little issue with the air pump thing 99-00 got.

Slight compression difference.

Head on the y8 isn't any good either.
What is the air pump you are talking about?
