the 350HO is flat tappet. the zz4 is a hydrolic roller

Dave summit has one for 45.95 it an Edelbrock AFPR. EDL-8190

Want a proven combo?? Buy the Vortec block. Swap the cam to a 286XE. Add a RPM Air Gap intake and a 4 barrel carb. I've seen with a 1406 Eddy. Now some nice headers.
1969 C10 SWB with 3.73 gears and 350th tranny with the combo and slicks was pulling 13.1 ET's 1/4 PASSES ALL DAY LONG!! Same as a stock C4 Vette that day!! Hard to beat a deal like that.
Crate for you is the best option.

i think ive still got a performer fuel pump that puts out the right amount of fuel pressure for an edlebrock carb if thats what your goin for. ive never installed it and id take like 30 for it.

A friend has the ZZ4 in his 66 Nova and runs mid 12's, and on a 100 shot, he's pulled a best of 11.7. No problems at all.

Keep saving, and get the best one you can. Man your truck is going to feel alot different after that

LOHRTBT · 12-16-2003, 11:23 AM
