Trying To Get Things Together...
Here in a few months I plan on swapping a ZZ4 into my '88 C4(L98, 4+3)
Ive been searching threads trying to figure out all the parts I'll need and been reading about the swap.
Im going with the ZZ4 longblock from paceperformace for $3200.
So far Ive come to the conclusion that I will need:
-a new GM mini starter-part # 12361146
-waterpump-Edelbrock Vic Series (not sure what part number)
-6 3/4 harmonic balancer
-new fuel injectors(im gonna use the existing TPI for a lil while)-any suggestions on injectors to go with?
-Longtube Headers(havent decided which though Im leaning towards Hedman Elites
-Timing Cover(not sure what part number)
-new dizzy gear(not sure what part number)
the rest of my exhaust-(I plan on going to tru duels, not sure about cats though)
-new flywheel thats externally balanced(not sure what part number)
Is there anything I've missed?? I just want to make sure this swap goes smoothly and that I have everything I will need.

Anyone??
Will I need a new flywheel and clutch with the new engine?
Are there any modifications needed for the Hedman Elites to fit?
Ive done many searches but cant find all the answers Im looking for.

I'm not sure on the flywheel and clutch. The Hedman elites should be fine. Go to Hedman's web site and look up the parts. You can also contact their tech support.

I used the same engine. All that is REQUIRED is the water pump, distr gear and flywheel. Everything else will transfer over. I also upgraded the exhaust and intake at the same time. If doing this you may want to start to think about a tune to make sure it all runs right.
I've heard that the mini starter is required as well but I am using the stock size one with the TPIS headers with no clearance issues.
