Couple of questions

Ok guys heres the story. I decided to build a D for turbo for 3 reasons.
A) Tired of everyone saying D's are pointless, and I need to swap a B series in
B) At the time I already had a D series turbo kit (just sold the mani and turbo to fund the build up)
c) For what I would pay for a low model B series I can have a fully built D series
Well I traded my std mani and TDO5 turbo for a Y8 port and polished head, oversized valves, new dual valve springs, and new valve retainers. Today my Eagle H beam rods came. So now all I need is pistons. Now here are the questions.
1) I did a conversion calculator I found on h-tech and it said a D16A6 witha Y8 head using A6 pistons raised the C/r to like 10:1. So if I use 8.5:1 compression pistons what will that put me at? Should I just use Y8 pistons? :eek7:
2) I have a guy with a D16Y7 block for sale. With no crank, wanting $50 shipped. Is this a decent deal?
3) Do I really need to resleeve the block for turbo? What are the factory sleeves good for? I will be running no more than 15 psi when at the track. Where is a good place to get them? I found them by LA sleeves for $20 a piece. I don't know if they are stock replacement or not, for $20 a piece I think they are. :uhoh:
4) Anyone have a A6 block for sale or they want to get rid of? Kinda short on cash right now. Any help would be appreciated.
5) Will any D series intake mani fit the Y8 head or does it have to be a Y8?
6) Are all adjustable cam gears the same or should the e-bay ones work just fine?
Thanks, Doug
