Keith,
Its the ZZ4 re-worked. However, the only thing left of the ZZ4 other than the accessory drive system is the ZZ4 block. Looking back on it, I probally should have built a all new long block. However this build kind of grew in scope as my engine builder got into the build. One suggestion led to another until this is the build I wound up with. Not the most cost efficent way to build a engine. Maybe I'll build a second engine of whats left of the ZZ4.
