I whant know if you can put a d16a1 head on a d16y7 block on the cheap. I threw a rod on my block and the heads fine. I can get my hands on a y7 for nothing. anbody done this and is there any power or durability to be gained.

 

yeah it works just do it if you have no other choice

 

is the mount,timing belt, water pump and every thing going to work and is the y7 any stonger or am I better off with the a1 block

 

A1 BLOCK, the a1 head on bolts to a d16a1 and a dohc zc block.

 

^ what he said but also if your running a d16a1 the motor mounts on those are different than that of the 88 on up civics i know there has been some people trying to modify their mounts to do this and make it work but yea......what car do you have?? im thinking you have a 1st gen teg? if thats the case your looking at onlybeing ableto use the D16a1's and i think they may have made a zc for that mounting set-up......also if you are anywhere near binghamton NY there is actually i think 2 1st gen tegs with good D16a1 motors in them at my local junk yard.....

 

what he said ^^
