zz4 383?
i have a zz4 engine needs a rebuild and was thinkin about making it a stroker. how hard is it to put a tpi or ltx setup on that engine even if i didnt make it a stroker? not sure if i would put it in the vette but it would be tempting.

The ZZ383 uses fastburn aluminum heads, so you will need the Scoggins-Dicky intake manifold to fit the TPI. Also your current smog equipment won't match up because of these heads either, but I think Scoggins Dicky makes some kind of adapters. But it should be a heck of an engine once installed and working. Let us know the trials and tribulations and...ahem...the 1/4 performance.

Oh and the stock 350 cast cranks makes a great doorstop or can be sold for scrap. At the machine shop I worked at, we'd just leave them out for the scrap metal guys, lol.
