If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: D16y7 to y8
Depending on how the engine failed, I have seen debris from bottom end bearing disintegration travel all throughout the oiling system, yes even up into the head, cam journals, rockers and valvetrain and VTEC screen.
So, you might need to completely strip the head and do serious cleaning.
Other than that, I think it can be a doable swap.
