The y7 and y8 blocks are prone to oil pump failure. You need to swap out an oil pan and oil pump from a d16a6 or d16z6

Re: (purple98ek)
as far as tb and injectors if u use stock y7 ecu u gotta use the y7 tb and injectors, timing belt its the same for y8 and z6 and y7, now as long as u use the z6 cam gear on the head setting valve timing should be the same as normal, but from what i know z6 ig nition timing is 12 degrees y8/7 are 16 degrees i think i have not gotten a look at parts to confirm this myself. maybe someone else can tell you more on inginiton timing
and typically u should use the distributor that matches the head, in this case z6 just swith the wiring to work with 0bd2 harness thats just the rule of thumb ive heard a y7 distrib might work

thanks for the input.........i have the z6 dizzy and thats what i will be using.........i just dont think that y7 injectors provide enough fuel.........so my question stands: should i use y8 injectors?........can i use the y8 injectors on my y7 fuel rail?.....

Re: (purple98ek)
if youre going to use the y8 intake manifold, use its corresponding parts (fuel rail, injectors, TB) because it will just make it that much easier for you.

Re: (purple98ek)
after i thought about it i realized u have to change the ecu the only reason i was saying before to use y7 injectors was if you used a y7 ecu but when i stopped and thunk i realize that wouldnt work your going for vtec, and with a y8 ecu with is what i assume you will use you will need a knock sensor

Re: (seabass10369)
well, that is one of the questions i have..........if i wire the vtec solenoid to run off a msd activated switch then i could keep my ecu, but will the y8 injectors function ok with a y7 ecu?
