88k miles is pretty low, why do you want to swap it out? If I were you, I'd get a better motor before doing a swap. I just don't see the point in swapping in another D-series motor.

You have the D16y5 motor then correct? Honestly, you won't see much more power from the Y8 if at all, any. It's a pretty much direct replacement. No extra wiring needed, but if you would like me and my friend josh to do it, we can prolly have it done in a day or two. Pm me...located in norfolk.

Not with most d-series motors. It bolts right up, you can use the header that comes with the y8, and should bolt up directly to the cat...unless the flange is angled differently. The only thing you will need that is really different is the y8 ecu, and of course all of the y8 wiring and such...someone add on, I know I forgot easy shit, I'm in a hurry.
