A b18 ls motor puts around the same power as the zc motor. if building one of them i would say the b18 would put down more. considering that there is more parts to buy and better parts than you could find for a zc motor. the swap is easy tho. ecu and jumper harness . wire up a few things and your done.

if your gonna go with stock internals. just stay around 10 psi with a good tune and a good turbo setup and you will be close to 300.

you would get them for a zc. you can go on exospeed and buy stage 1 cams and they should work fine for your setup. here is the site.
