All Honda d series motors are basically interchangeable...
however, for the swap to be street legal in the USA, the motor must be from the same year as the car or later. The d16Z6 block is gen. 5 (92 - 95), the 96-98 ex is gen. 6, so the swap wouldn't be considered legal. You would also be switching from OBD2 to OBD1, which is another no-no...
So, can it be done ? Yes. Has it been done? Yes. Should you do it ? Hmmm...
The stock motor (d16y8) in the 98 EX is a VTEC motor w/ about 127 hp.
The d16z6 motor is a VTEC motor w/ about 125 HP.
The only advantage to be gained here is possibly one of price &/or availability.
I recently saw a full d16y8 motor w/ less than 70K miles up on an auction site for about $450... find someone who has recently done a B or K series swap into their Honda, & you
might even get one for less, just so they can get rid of it.
