Will a d16y8 ZEX cam fit into my d16y7 motor???

I'm going to get a ZEX cam off of someone I know for cheap but its for a d16y8 motor and I have a d16y7 motor. I looked on ZEX's site and it said "Honda D16Y8 - 1 Street/Strip Performance Cam". Will the cam fit and work proberly in my d16y7 motor or should I look for another Cam. If so does anyone recomend brands. But I would much rather have this one fit. Any thoughts or has anyone ever put this cam into a d16y7 motor. Thank You.
