I don't know much about 96+ Honda's....and I did a search....so....here's my situation.
My brother somehow blew up his engine (D16Y8).
I'm thinking I could drop in a D16Z6 just to get him up and running again.
I would buy the longblock from a Japanese Engine Importer here in Chicago for $550- I've done alot of business with them and I know they have them in stock.

I don't know if they have Y8's because I never even gave them a thought. But I'm guessing they would be somewhat more expensive.
I would just use the Z6 shortblock and transfer over the Y8's manifolds and distributor.
My biggest concern is the distributor and if the 3 brackets will line up.
Remember I dont' live in Cali and smogging is not a concern.

So is it possible? Thanks in advance guys!

you can get a d16y8 long block for less than $500....if the head is still good, you could probably get him up and running for less than $300 for a short block.

Thanks.....
But will a D16Z6 work?
I don't have the time to check if the valves are bent, source a short block, and buy a headgasket.
Because I can purchase the Z6 tomorrow with a 6 month/unlimited mileage warranty. And have it in in a couple hours.

They have a JDM SOHC VTEC called a D16A for $550. anyone?

if you use the z6 head
then no, the y8 distributor wont line up on the z6 head
you can cut it to make it fit
its kind of a pain though
i did it but i used a mill
much easier
