Default Re: Cragars on the Z28!

Thanks guys! I appreciate the compliments.

Jake, I put a ZZ4 crate motor in the Z. The born with original motor is now safely stored on a stand in the corner of the garage. I took off some other parts like the 837 alternator, 367 starter, and some other items. Specs are hot cam upgrade package, Edelbrock Performer intake, Hooker headers, and a 750 double pumper Holley. Really a fun combination for a cheap investment.

Nice combination - looks great. I did the same thing to my Chevelle - took out the born with 402 and installed a GMPP 454/425 crate motor.

Looks great! What size front tires?

How well do those centerbolt-to-perimeter valve cover adapters work? Any leaks?

Terrible lol. They leaked so bad I took them off after running them once. Made a mess and wasted $.

Very likely the slope of the driveway from the photos is all... I've never noticed it and I'm anal about that.
