hey my buddy built and boosted his d16Z and the block cracked. he now needs to replace the block. He thinks he needs a Z block. is this true?? what other blocks could be used interchangeably??? thank you in advance

 

D16A6 (1988-1991 CRX/Civic Si)
D16Z6 (1992-1995 Civic EX/Si or Del Sol Si)
D16Y7/D16Y5/D16Y8 (Any 1996-2000 SOHC Civic or Del Sol)

 

i think that all of the d16 blocks are the same

 

tell him to get a Y7

i would suggest the d16a6 88-91 SI block since it has a steel girdle that none of the others have

also dont forget your d15 blocks

d15b1
d15b2
d15b7
d15z1
d15b(jdm)

Yeah but D16 rods wont fit in D15 blocks.

thats obvious, i was just suggesting what would work, a 1.5block will replace his 1.6 block if he so chooses

 

so y7 will work with all the stuff he already has?? is that the only one or is that just the best one??

All the ones I listed, all of his aftermarket internals will work. Any 88-00 D16 block will work

 

dont forget the jdm ZC block with 140 hp
