I love the engine, a friend has been running a ZZ4 for about 10 yrs. he added a cam, intake and aluminim pulleys and is very pleased with the engine.
If you want to sell the waterpump pulley or both pls let me know as I need a 2 groove waterpump pulley.
PM Sent to you about 2 groove pulley. I have one you can have, just pay shipping to you in Canada and it is yours.

Thank-you so very much, that is very generous and kind of you. You are right about the ZZ4 being a very "Good Bones" as I have not run into anyone who has installed one in any car that has not been pleased with their purchase. As I said, I had initially looked for a ZZ4, couldn't find one and the ZZ383 deal that I got was not much more than the ZZ5.
Take a look at the ZZ5 specs, it is very similar to the ZZ4 with an upgraded cam, beehive springs and a few other upgraded components.

I have it boxed up now. 15.5cm X 15.5 cm X 15.5 cm so it isn't a very large box. Will get weight and then take it to our post office this morning to see what they say about getting it to you in Canada. It needs a good cleaning, surface wire brushing, and painting, but when done you should be in good shape.

Fantastic! What hood are you running on your vette, base/Lt-1/L88. If you want I can ship you my Torker intake that I used to run on my last 383. Single plane, low height I just added a phenolic spacer and the engine screamed. No idea what shipping would be for you but they are great low rise intakes.
