What is the best replace engine for a C4?
Im just curios, what is the best replace engine for C4 L98? ZZ4 crate engine? And can you use the bosch injections system on a zz4 crate? Or MUST you go carb?

yes the ZZ4 short block is what we use for it, you could just remove the carb that comes with the crate and instal the TPI, its supposed to be a direct fit.

I don't believe the ZZ4 will bolt up to the TPI. You'd have to get either a special intake manifold, or just get the ZZ4 short block and add your own heads.

I believe the Miniram III is for Vortech style heads like the ZZ4 (I think) comes with.
