Most people learn B-series because it's Hyped and fluent, then ASSume for D-series... when they find out otherwise, they still think in head-specific terms "except that one bolt." Uh-uh.
when putting a Y head on a 88-95 block you have to use the shorter Y head bolt/stud in that top left corner, or use a washer. what does B series have to do w/ it??? i know ---- about B's, all my experience is with D's.

Ok well, I did that compression calculator like the other ones and came up with similar results 12.61 to 1... I am some what of a noob when it comes to stuff like this but I just have to think that it is too high to run on regular and without a tune, if anybody has any informative links it would be most appreciated, and if you feel like flaming because my lack of knowledge then flame on.

your calculation is way off, i dont feel like using the compression calculator but off the top of my head i would say z6 block y8 head, and stock gasket will be around 9.8:1 unmilled.

Ok well since this is my first swap I will probably have it all ready in a week or two or three, whenever I get off my ass and do it, I will probably post up some pics, and let you guys know how it went.

yeah, use all z6 headbolts, and do a leakdown test on cylinder 4, why is it so hard to comprehend that 1 bolt/stud has to be used from a Y motor. i could explain why, but i would rather watch yall crack the block trying to get it to tighten down flush to the head, or tighten to proper tq and not have compression in #4 cylinder. good day.

no i undersand about the one bolt just the rest would be the z6 bolts and the one from a y8 head/block. So othere then the bolts everything else bolts together just fine?

Re: Z6 Block w/ Y8 Head
 
yes, with the exeption of the timing, you will need an adjustable cam gear to correct the timing. why not just get a z6 head????
