i personally found the zc was not for me
Well I know you hate B series motors girl... You said ZCs sit for awhile, same with B16s! People think that just because it says B its gotta be awesome. like I said a first gen B series motor has sat just as long as a ZC... Think about it people! I like the price of your motor. I was considering the swap but I dont know about the torque. Seems it kicks in kinda high and the over power of the ZC is more.. But like you said you can find your motor in like new condition... Pros and Cons !
