Both of those are ZEs. The easiest way to tell is by the black plastic box on the intake manifold.

They can be a used, but you'll have to strip the JDM engine down to the long block, and swap everything over from your USDM engine (crank pulley, all sensors, intake, etc.) You'll have to run premium gas to take full advantage of the higher compression. Also, since you don't have the ZE ECM, don't expect to gain the extra 40-50hp.
