I think you are asking the wrong question.

Hmm.....you are looking at one high compression motor, so if you want to keep it alive -

1) Don't rev it past what it is designed for
2) Get it tuned properly
3) Run high quality gas
4) Get it tuned properly
5) Stay up on maintance
6-10) Get it tuned properly
11) Don't cut corners.

If you used the Y8 block your compression ratio will stay the same as the pistons being used (P29s) and the combustion chamber are identical.

Heres a better idea.
Keep the stock a6 and use p29 pistons with a z6 headgasket.around 10:5:1.
