Same hp, B18B makes slightly more torque, but weighs and costs more.

If you're thinking of swapping for more power, just know that you can build a simple turbo setup on your D series for about the price of a good swap. With that turbo setup on your stock D, you could safely make 220-240whp without spending much over $1500

That's not a bad price for an LS. If you're going to run it in your DD and leave it stock, i would say that's a great idea for you....and you can still sell the Z6 to make up for your LS investment.
