I currently purchased 2 cars. 96 Civic EX and a 98 Civic DX. both stick 2dr. The 96EX has a F-UP motor, so i was gonna swap out the y8 for the y7 . I wanted to know if anyone knows if its a direct bolt up, as far as transmission, and ecu, etc...... NEED FEEDBACK. Please Help!!!!

 

off the hit dx 3 wire iac
ex 2 wire iac.

how bad is the engine?
why not take the y8 head on the y7 bottom put it in let it eat?
everything will swap.

 

Everything should bolt in fine, both cars are obd2a so wiring should not be a problem. Search for a website it's called ff-squad something where you can find some pinout diagrams. Like boostedcivicsir said you are going to have to switch 2 wire(y8) to 3 wire(y7) IACV, check out those obd2a pinout diagrams it's not very hard to figure out.
