well you'll have to convert to obd1 (if you haven't already) and run a p28 ecu. which means you'll need to run the wires for vtec into the engine bay. you'll also have to move some wires around at the dizzy because on the dohc zc the cps sensor is located on the exhaust cam.

if both engines are in similar shape then they would perform very similarly. i believe the zc would be a hair faster though. but since you are looking for something decently quick and cheap i would probably go with the z6.

you either have to find a good deal on craigslist/hondamarketplace or you pay a good bit of money to get a nice used motor from an engine importer like hmotorsonline. sometimes it takes a little while to find a decent deal. for example, i searched around for about 2 weeks before i picked up a z6 for only $300.
