When deciding on an engine, you may want to factor in your local smog/emmision policies. From what I understand California does not like the ZC.

I just keep seeing ZC, curious to what it was.
if this engine dies or will cost alot to repair or if I just feel like it and upgrade would be nice no matter what. More power is always good.. Just checking out the options.

Yeah, a b series swap will only cost you about 3 times what the ZC will. It's all about budget.
