I think the only difference is the intake and the head design. You get a few more ponies out of the intake and not much out of the head. In my opinon leave it like it is. just boost it.

y8's are the worst d series motor ever made. Bad oil pump design causes bearing failure. I have done a number of swaps in stock cars that had less than 120k with bad bearings.
