Map performance have a line thay sell to feed oil to the hard for the mivec . Thats the only difference , other than the oil tap on the block every thing is the same , pm me for info if needed .

Im assuming your car is an evo9, then you shouldnt need much, I think the only other difference that might need to be addressed is the oil warning light sensor is moved to a different spot on the 9 block (pretty sure they moved it to the oil filter housing).

Not worth the $ ...
I swap the whole long block, You need the main engine wiring harness, IX ECU to make that work. thats about another 800-1k$ better off building a 8 head TRUST me.
If you have a IX & just need a new block... I'd make sure to just get the right block replacement so you have no issues in the future.

Basically the evo 8 blocks are cheaper and more plentiful, but lack the mivec oil feed of the 9 block which is a simple fix.
