My old motor is a Z6 and im switchin to the y8, the oil pan on the y8 is messed up and i was wonder if i could use the z6 pan in some way, and all the brackets off the z6?? the y8 only has the PS bracket that i can see. will the z6 brackets fit on the y8?

 

sure you can. just about everything from the d-series are compatible.

 

So the oil pan and allthe brackets for the AC PS and Alt. will fit?? im tryin to get this motor in soon, runnin out of money with no car and no job

any help is appriciated!!

 

Not 100%, but i'm pretty sure they will fit.

 

I need to be sure, so anyone else!!

In a bit im goin out to work on it.

 

if you have both motors in front of you, just do trial-and-error.

 

y8 pan wont work on the z6. i know cause i had a z6 sitting round a friends house and i need a pan for my y8 cause i tapped my o.e. one for oil return and i needed to replace and called honda and they said no. so no they are not compatible, but you can call them for yourself if you feel the need, but i did call them and they did say no. why did you go from z6 to y8? oh yeah someone buy the stuff in my sig please

 

i blew the z6 and alli could find was a y8. i wish i had gotten a z6 now.

 

does any onek now if this stuff will fit?

 

th oil pan from the z6 will work on the y8.. i am using this setup right now...
i had a built z6 with the pan already tapped for the drain back, so i just used that pan on my new engine build up, which was y8 out of a 97 EX...
so the answer is yes... honda said no because they are 2 different part #'s on the two...

trail & error work wonders...
