There actually is a difference. They are hand and ahnd pretty much the same (they can interchange parts) buy the Y8 block utilizes VTEC. Now, a Y8 head merged with a Y7 block will be VTEC. Its called a mini-me swap.

There is absolutly nothing different between the blocks. Same pistons, stroke, bore size, compression.

The difference comes in form of the head, intake manifold, and ecu.

The block is identical remy only the head is different.
