ZZ4 in a C3
Has anyone here installed a zz4 engine in a C3 Vette? What problems were
encountered? or was it a simple transplant? Is there anything you wish you would have done different? I know its alot of questions but I want to be sure im looking at doing the right thing.

Buddy of mine put a ZZ4 in a '69 coupe, and either put on an aftermarket
L-88 type scoop or found a hood, can't remember which (it was two or three years ago). It screams. -- Charlie Funk Just Cruisin' Plus 800 888-0922 615 833-0922 www.justcruisinplus.com We prefer the MasterCard card "MES" > wrote in message ... > Has anyone here installed a zz4 engine in a C3 Vette?

A low rise dualplane will fix that minor problem.. =========================== I have several frineds with ZZ4's in their C3's mainly early bumper cars BUT also a 78 ... none have "mentioned" any problems with hood clearance .. I plan on dropping a ZZ4 in my 72 within a year or two as the present engine is getting kind of tired... So I better ask them to make sure... Bob G. |

Not a single one had any hood clearance problems when they installed a ZZ4 or a HO 350 engine in their C3's The cars were a 69, 72, 77 and a 78... the 72 was an original LT1 however .
