Default zz4 shortblock w/ AFR 190 heads...

This is the setup I think I will go with. Brand new shortblock (i.e. warranty), brand new heads. I am still undecided on a cam, I am running some calculations on desktop dyno to find the perfect cam for it. Looks like it will be in the 400-450 lb/ft range for torque with the stock TPI intake/runners/TB.

Questions:
- What are the flow rates for the stock intake setup (I will be using 24lb fuel injectors)?
- Does the ZZ4 have the correct bracket mounting points for all the accesories?
- Will I have clearance problems with the stock exhaust manifold on the regular angled (not L98 angle) 190s? If so, what kind of short tube headers would you recommend?
What do I need to change to go from a 2 piece rear main seal to a one piece (700r4)?

Thanks for the help guys. :cheers:

not sure on flow, but you should consider a high flow base and larger runners. AS&M makes a nice set that look stock. your biggest restriction will the intake if you keep it stock.

- Does the ZZ4 have the correct bracket mounting points for all the accesories?
Yes it should

- Will I have clearance problems with the stock exhaust manifold on the regular angled (not L98 angle) 190s? If so, what kind of short tube headers would you recommend?
not sure, why not go with the L98 angle heads?
What do I need to change to go from a 2 piece rear main seal to a one piece (700r4)?
I believe a new flexplate for a 87 newer Vette will work.. in its place. and maybe a starter.. otherwise everthing else will bolt up

Thanks for the help guys. :cheers:
As for a Cam maybe a ZZ4 or ZZ9 or something similar to those
