Yes, you had the engine sitting around, and you're probably attempting to make a name for yourself by being different, but once people "forget" about your trials and tribulations to make this work, this Z will be hated by most and have an atrocious resale value. You would've been better off selling the KA in parts. Instead you put an inferior truck motor in a thoroughbred street car. That's like putting a Rotary motor in your Ferrari but you upgraded the Apex Seals and put on bigger turbos so that makes it "ok" Nice work though. If it's all for you and you're happy with it and you never intend to let it go, then I'm happy for you.
