hey guys need your help will this work?
any concerns i need to know???
 
yes it will work fine. they are practically the same thing. y8 has a thinner headgasket and a better intake mani.

only thing to worry about is electronics, such as the distributor and injectors being obd2 on the y8 and obd1 on the z6
 
what do u mean?
id like to learn as much as possible



just a d series noob!

i did the other way around swap i did the y8 head on a z6, the distributor and the v-tec solenoid r the only things that need to be changed so if u get a z6 head make sure it has the solenoid on the back of it, the distributor they changed from a 2 plug in obd1 to a 1 plug in obd2 so all u have to do is cut and splice the wires together they go to the same area and match up other than that it is a pretty easy to do
