Re: 64 GMC on 86 Blazer running gear
Good deals today. A friend works in the oilfields and got me a killer deal on a brand new ZZ4 350 crate motor and yes it runs. It dont even have 100 hours on it and never turned over 2500 rpm for $500.00 . I also got a set of headers from a friend that are just like new for free . This sure help the budget build. lol

Re: 64 GMC on 86 Blazer running gear
I hate to break it to you but that is not a ZZ4 crate engine. The ZZ4's don't come with Vortec heads. Now it is possible the short block is a ZZ4. You can determine that by the code stamped on the passenger side just in front of the head.

Re: 64 GMC on 86 Blazer running gear
Great progress Ron.
ZZ4 or not ,great score on the engine. Something you might need to look at is the valves,it's rumoured that they're tack welded so they can't rotate,all good for 20 000 hrs at 2500 rpm running on natural gas (from the well),but not so good for variable rpm on pump gas. Check it out when your switching to some nice chrome covers. T
