Default Ready to pull my engine and install Hookers!

Well almost...I took my 2 1/2" exhaust off and need (would like) to get rid of it. Its got about 15 miles logged on it. From the muffler shop to home...Thats It!! X-pipe and Magnaflows (I think...I'll look for the receipt), plus new tips!!! Cost me about $550

Its over on the For Sale board...$200

I know that I may have missed something, but you are getting a new engine before putting the hookers on?

I mean if you want to put Hooker Headers with sidepipes on, you dont need to pull the motor...

Yea!! Swapping in a ZZ4 and a 2004R! This was just a little effort at exposure in case anyone wanted my old exhaust!!!

I've got Super Comp Sidemounts (1 5/8" I believe) into 4" side pipes. Haven't decide on muffler inserts but considering STS or Sweet Thunder...

Merry Christmas to ALL!

Good question. We've beaten this question to death here recently

I'm thinking about a Street Avenger 670. Theres Holley guys, and Edelbrock guys...I'm indifferent, as I have no experience with either (I've been a LBC guy..Little British Car). I'm looking for simplicity in tuning, dependability, and gas mileage...I dont want to become a carb tuning expert!! My motor came with a used Edelbrock 750...Seems like alot of carb for the ZZ4, but who am I to say!!

Merry Christmas!

Everyone says I can use the original for the 2004R. I like the BTO tubular one though, much lighter. I'm gonna stick with the original ($$).

Merry Christmas!

Yea, I've heard that. There have been a couple guys here to do the ZZ4 thing recently, using various carbs and sizes. My local speed shop said use a holley 650. They mentioned that a 750 might be too big. I may use the Edel 750 that I have to get it up and running, then see where to go from there???

Merry Christmas!

Seems like a plan. I was thinking the 750 was a little too much my self . How long ago was that thread on the carb slection for the zz4 id like to look at it to get some ideas about jetting ect. I installed one of those edlebrock fuel ratio monitors to help dial it in It works great .
