You have two options
1. rebuild the Z6 and make around 150-180 depending on compression ration and cam/head work.
2. buy a sway b18c1 or b16, and make about the same power with bolt on parts.
3. There is the last option but its going to cost some money and machine work, get LS rods GX pistons you will have to run e85 cause with out decking the block or head your looking at 12:5.1 or more compression. but the block has to be notched for the rod length. but you will make more power this way on a single cam 180+ hp
All will cost you right around 3k or better depending on parts and machine work.
It is always nice to build something up in the end your still buying it from some one. I have a friend building a Y8 right now and he already has about 1500 in with just the block work rods and pistons. Hasn't even started on the head and looks like that will be another 2500 for intake manifold and cam/ springs retainers and new valves. etc.
Look at all your options talk to your local speed shops and engine machine shops might be better to just go B series for the price tag.
