they would work but they are autos so u will need a tranny. if you can find one, pick up a junk or totalled z28 or ta with the m6 so you will have virtually everything you need (comp, harness, etc)

what year is your Z?
best way to do the swap is get the same year so that you wont have problems plugging the dash harness with the engine harness.
for example, the (OBD II) LT1 engine harness wont work with (OBD I) dash harness.

Yep +1 on Donor Car. Under the hood wiring is the main thing. I assume that it'll plug right into the firewall plug and under the dash harness plugging into the ECM.
