Default question: b7 block w/ y7 head .

i have a 90 civic std with d15b1 in it.
if i piece together a b7 block and y7 head, do i wire obd-1 or 2? and what ecu would i use? p06 or p2e? which is better, the b7 or y7 gasket?

and if i'm correct i can use the y7 timing belt and cam.. and still bolt up my cable tranny, right?

wire it for obd1 and use the po6 ecu also i would redo the dizzy plugs to use the obd2 dizzy plug the obd2 dizzy will work with obd1 as i have it working like that for a y7 in a 93 ex
cable tranny will still work and bolt up correctly

also use the b7, z6, or y8 intake mani dont use the y7

yeah. i knew i was going to get that for mentioning a dpfi/mpfi swap. there use to be like a faq's for mini me swaps on here. but i couldn't seem to navigate towards it.
bprsk8er seemed to know his ****, so i figured i just ask.
now that i'm doing more research i may just try to find all b7 parts (top/bottom) and still use my b1 dizzy and wire harness.. then i can swap to mpfi and buy a obd-0 to obd-1 jumper harness for the new p06 ecu.
it actually seems like a pretty easy swap. the b7 is almost identical to the b1/2 parts.
am i missing anything. is there something i should know before i start to buy the parts?
any easy added gains i should know about? is there a better intake than the b7? like a z6 or y8 intake?

if you do the by/y7 you'll have to convert to mpfi then get your obdo to obd1 ecu jumper harness

the b7 and z6 intake manis are pretty much the same they may even be the same and the y8 is deff. bigger
