My friend is swaping out his blown d15b7 for a d15b8 block. In my searching I've come to understand a few things.

-use CX (b8) head bolt and timing belt
-use DX (b7) ECU
-use DX intake set up
-use and D series head gasket

I'm not sure on the head gasket deal but I assume he would use a d15b8 gasket

I also read about a difference for a "water pump tube" that does not exsist on the DX(b7) block. I was wondering if anyone has done this and what they did with that tube if what I read was correct?

the block is physically identical, so basically use whatever part from whatever motor you want, just be careful, the 92-93 b8 doesnt have 4 valve relief pistons and putting a 16valve head on can cause contact.
