All 3 have the exact same bottom end.. So bottom end wise, their is no advantage in any of them...

3 differnt heads... The ZC flows the best, but does not have aftermarket support like the Z6 does.. I personally like DOHC's alot better. The ports and all the valves are larger on the ZC as well. To some the ZC is the Best to build up since it's a twin cam design, but The Z6 has more aftermarket valve train support. which is very nice.. Either way, you could make any 3 of those motors pull 10 sec slips if you really wanted too.

This is my preference...

ZC DOHC
D16y8 or Z6
D16a6

do, let me get this right...you can put a ZC head on a, let's say, d15b7 bottom end with no MAJOR modifications?
