I've been looking around for info on this for a while. Unfortunately I don't have a row of engines to pull apart and check for myself.
It seems that the only difference between GE and GZE of a given year is pistons, rings and cam covers. Everything else is identical (bar accessories like alternator, SC etc etc).
So while I haven't done it, I think the 4AGE rebuild kit would do a ZE fine. As long as the kit was for the correct year.

87-89 4agze list the the full gasket kit GR901MT (ACL MonoTorque). this should do the bigport and smallport 4agze, though as i found it only comes with a smallport inlet manifold gasket.
the 86-89 4age lists the full gasket kit GN390MT and the 90-94 4age lists the kit GR901MT (ACL MonoTorque).
Both these kits list the same Head gasket but different Inlet manifold gaskets JC578 should be the 86-89 bigport and JC879 should be the 90-94 smallport. the only other differnce i can see between the gaskets kits is the thermastat housing gasket between the 89/90 model engines.
the Timing belt is deffinatly the same between a 4age and the 4agze (BT176).
as long as you get later model 4age conrod bearings they will be the same as the 4agze (42mm). to make sure you get the right ring set measure the top ring land on your pistons, 1.2mm vs 1.5mm.
umm.. think thats about it.
