intake/exhaust manifolds and transmission would be the best things to gank from the y8. the mini-me swap is good for higher compression, tho.

actually the y7 throttle body has the IACV built into it, while the Y8 doesn't. The y7 throttle cable plate is also angled slightly different, If you want to switch manifolds, you'll need the little brass peice that the throttle cable connects to off of the y8 TB
