will any 97-98 d16y8 engine swap straight into a 96 ex without any modifications at all, or does it have to be a d16y8 out of another 96 ex?

All 96-98 are OBD2a, so those won't be a problem.

The 99-00 are OBD2b.

I was always wondering what the difference was. And that might be why when you gut out the cat on the newer civics(99-01) they throw a code and the older ones dont. (96-98)
