A d16y7 will work, but you'll be losing performance (lower power and no vtec). If that's ok with you, then throw it in. You should be able to find either a D16y8 (96-00 civic ex) or a D16z6 (92-95 civic ex) for a few hundred pretty easily. They're both d-series (so they'll work with your transmission) and they're both vtec.

z6 intake manifold might be better from a performance standpoint and your car will not pass emissions with an engine in it that is older than the car itself so be aware of that if you have emissions tests in your area. Also I want to point out that the D16Y8's from the 96-98 civics are not the same as the D16Y8's from the 99-00 civics. If you get the D16Y7 all you also need is the ecu.
