Default Whats the difference between a D16y7 and D16y8?

What is the differnece between these two engines? There both 1.6 L and SOHC. Is there a way I can turn my D16y7 into a Vtech without having to swap the engine? I'm the biggest Noobie and apologize for the retarded questions. I looked at engine schematics and they look the same. Can someone tell me the difference and tell me how I can make my engine into Vtech? Thanks

Swap the heads intake and exhaust manifolds and ECUs- the blocks are basically the same- the Y8 has the converter under the car and the Y7 has the converter off the exhaust manifold. The intake manifold is completely different.

VTEC, not vtech. Vtech makes children's toys.
