i would have to say the z6, but either way u go u will make decent power depending on the setup and the tune

im getting a y8 block built right now and i was just wondering which one is better lol..

Y8s not bad theres a lot of parts for the d series and the parts are cheaper cus everybodys trying to get parts for the b series. My d16y8 has a supercharger kamikaze headers 2.5" exhaust and AEM intake and i got 230 HP so you can get decent pull off a d sereis block. if you plan on going more then that rebuild the block and head before you put it in your car

i was thinking about justt buying a z6 block and putting a y8 head on it, i heard the y8 blocks arent good at oil flow

yea, go with the Z6, its tried and true. The slight difference in stock power is from the obd2 ecu but theres much more crap to deal with on obd2. (unless you planned on running obd1 anyway) but the Z6 is definitly a better motor and is much more reliable than the Y8.

I actually have an extra Z6 block sitting here if you are interested in buying it PM me and we can work out a price.

ya generally speaking the z6 has a sturdier block.

y8's are good too, but it is KEY to port and shim the oil pump from what i hear..

will i need to convert to OBD1 from OBD2?

and what do you mean port the oil pump, just make it bigger?...

i just bought a z6 block ready to be built, im OBD2, BUT just using the d16a6 oil pump so that it will work with my car since i still have a crank sensor
