New ZZ4 coming have questions?
I finally had enough of the smoke and the leaks of what is suppose to be a 400 sb in my 72 GMC and I've got a turn key ZZ4 on a truck somewhere between Nebraska and West Texas. Now I have a couple of questions:
1. What shorty headers fit these trucks, (brand part #) 2. What fittings will I need to attach my old power steering lines to the new metric power steering pump? 3. What issues will I encounter when I switch from a TH350 to a TH700R4? 4. What else am I missing?

Re: New ZZ4 coming have questions?
Just about any header should fit it as long as they are compatable with the vortec head, try to get some with the thickest flanges you can find. Lee manufactureing is the ones that makes the metric to older style fittings. And the the last on the list is you will need a T.V. cable to hook up to thew carb from the 700R4 to adjust line pressure it is of the upmost of importance that it be adjusted properly or the trans will not last. Enjoy your newfoud power! .Jim

Re: New ZZ4 coming have questions?
For starters you are going to love that motor. I have one in my 65 nova coupe and its a runner. When you can get the hot cam& ratio rockers Chevy offers (really wakes the motor up. I run Sanderson headers on mine, thick flanges(never leak) mid block type (block hungers) no starter issues at all. Run a mini starter if you can. I run mine with a 350 trans so can't help there. I just know you are in for a treat my friend, enjoy! Cheers, Pat

Re: New ZZ4 coming have questions?
You can also screw out the pressure regulator out of the back of the power steering pump and put it into your new pump ending the need for the adaptor for the lines. I had some Sanderson headers on a V-8 S-10 that were a little hard to work with but it may have been the fact that it was a V-8 in an S-10 not the makers of the header. In their defense I will say the flange was nice and thick and it was a very well built header.

Re: New ZZ4 coming have questions?
yes the sanderson headers is the way to go !!! i put a zz4 in my 65 carryall w/400 turbo ! only 1 problem- may i recommend some kind of locking nut on the collectors and always use the copper gasketson the collectors and carry spares ! seems like anything but a lock-nut of high quality will vibrate loose on them collector bolts !!

Re: New ZZ4 coming have questions?
Friesen Chevrolet in Sutton, NE. They were actually a couple hundred less than the big guys and free freight.
Could have bought it closer but avoided sales tax using an out of state supplier. Which would have been about $400. I think they had a couple more in stock.

Re: New ZZ4 coming have questions?
I have the ZZ4 with the Tremec 5 speed - I love it! I am going to change the gears to 4:11's, though, I have 3.73's right now and in 5th I'm around 2000 rpm at 80 mph.

Re: New ZZ4 coming have questions?
Finally got to work on the engine today. Serpentine system on and valve covers. Aluminum pan is next. That's "Hank" in the back ground, my buddy's 58.

Re: New ZZ4 coming have questions?
I just ordered a GM certified 700r4 for a 90 Corvette Friday, so things are coming along. Still trying to decide if I'm going Fuel Injection or use the Holley.

Re: New ZZ4 coming have questions?
I dig those aluminum valve covers. Even though they are centerbolts... they still look period correct for an older rig. Nice!
