I don't know the differences between the Z18/20/22/24 heads, in terms of valve
sizes and cam settings, so you may want to find out this information before you
decide on a head. The Z18 motor can be pushed to about 350HP with only minor
head work, but that was in a race motor so wouldn't last that long. So the
heads can't be that bad for forced induction.

I would ask the list for the valve sizes and cam timings for the Z20 and Z18
motors. If they are the same then go for a cheap Z20 head and get it ported and
maybe rebuild it. I am not sure about the availability of aftermarket cams for
the Z series heads. The valve actuation is different from other types of
datsuns, so maybe not many people do cams for them, someone else on the list
should be able to tell you.

P.S. - How much are you looking at spending. I didn't want to spend very much
that is why I went with the whole Z18 motor. It saved me for computer and loom.
