iam looking at swapping my 97 civic to a d16y8 and was wondering what all i would need to do that already have a block on the way. just need to know if i just need a head or do i need a new intake manifold is it easier to get a new wiring harness or just run the wires for the vtec.

 

If all you have is the head you'll need an intake manifold, throttle body, and throttle cable as well.

Let me know if you need any of this:

I happen to have some y8 parts for sale, and they're automatic so you can avoid any wiring issues.

 

I dont have the head just the block

 

Pardon me for asking but how do you plan on doing a swap if you don't even know what parts you are supposed to have and don't even have a proper set of instructions to follow?

A quick Google search gave me this
If you search you can find everything you're looking for.

Well ive heard that i can use my y7 head and every thing on a y8 block just trying to figure out if it would be easier to swap everything to a y8 from what ive heard all i would need is a y8 head, wires and ecu just wondering if that for sure is what i need

 

Just wondering..What makes the automatic easier for swapping?

 

Plug and play wiring.
