this question is asked very often and i went with the 20v. first off if u r having a mechanic do this swap its going to be difficult to talk one into doing the 20v due to limited parts available, the generic knowledge of the engine of others, and just knowing how to work with it. the gze is probably going to be safer as far as that is concerned b/c ur really not going out on limb to that swap since this engine came in 2s anyway. you'll find alot more information and parts for this engine and that helps if u dont really have any skills as far as engineering ideas out your ass. but if you were "daring enough to go to the extremes" and willing to give up your abililty to just walk into a parts store and say I have this and i need this or going to a mechanic anywhere and having any number of services done then the 20v is worth it i love my car and I can say its pretty dependable, well as dependable as a engine swap in a 20+ year old car can be, if you go with the 20v I recommend that you speak to mr220v about a harness. with either choice you'll have to get the ecu for the engine and wiring, both will bolt in easily and you dont have to do any fabrication for either, you can use your same tranny and really no one will be able tell that you've done a swap by looking ,unless of course they know what engine should be in there, even if you want to still have some boost later on in the 20v then there are a number of ppl using turbos
as far as power right off the bat
16v n/a 112
16v sc 145
20vsilvertop 160
20vblacktop 165/170
and of course add minor tuning to all to get an extra 5 or so
