The Y7 is an excellent choice if you need a replacement motor for your worn out 1.5 or 1.6. It's completely compatible - just swap over your driver's side mount and bracket, complete intake manifold, distributor and engine harness from the D16A6. You'll be able to reuse the stock PM6 ECU also. You're cable tranny will bolt right up as well. All 88-00 D series motors have the same tranny mounting pattern.

 

88 tranny has a different input shaft

That doesn't affect how it bolts to the motor, just differences in the clutch.
