ordering starter, but cant determine which starter. looked at the block and it looks like it could be staggered or straight. please someone tell me so I can order. thanks alot. getting ready to put in.

Just bought the ZZ4, The engine I had in my Z had to go back into the truck. More power for the Z. Remote starter on fire wall where the battery was. I want a mini starter, just looking for a good low cost one. Need to look at the block to see if the hole are off set or inline. Adam

Was wondering what starter to use on a ZZ4 engine. Does anyone one have a part number or price. I just want to make sure I have the right set up. Thanks Soon go Zoom

Are you sure the balancer will fit? I measured and it is 8". JTR 7.25 is max I thought. Thanks

Just bought a ZZ4 great prices 3 day shipping Check out the site www.sdpc2000.com/ Go to crate motors they list several. I was told the prices on Mr goodwrench engines will go up 2.9% as March 1st. Adam

Thanks, picked up the motor last night. $3419 total from Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center in Tx. Shipped to Wa. Not bad. The engine even came with plugs. I just cant wait to hear it run. Another Question will my block hugger (2001) headers still work with this engine? Soon go zoom and fun in the sun in shacky washington. Thanks again will order a puller and damper

Hello, all This might have been asked before, I did a search did not find what I was looking for. I just bought a ZZ4 Crate engine. Can I just change out the damper or do I need to balance? Any help would be great. What is this engine internal or external balanced? Thanks again Adam Soon to be on the road again 2yrs waiting and changing.

It is a upholstery machine, I had a shop at one time in my life. It has been sitting around gathering dust, so I figured its time to get it tuned up and ready for the Z. Have dirt bikes and street, been playing with my CB750 automatic thinking of chopping it for the wife. Just got another CB750A which I'm restoring. 74 CB750 mild chopper and I have a 85 1300cc Kaw 940lbs. I always have at lease three projects going at all time, then I don't get bored. Hoping on driving the Z by summer Da-stang roadster later Adam

Hey, Yes, I have been busy. Been working on the bikes. The Z has been on hold, but I do have the interior almost done. Getting the sewing machine fixed. Now that I have made up my mind, I will start to play with the car. Have all the parts and some time off. Getting ready to ride as Santa, did a test ride in the rain and 40 degree, not bad. Got some waves and smiles and that is what it is all about. Sharing a Smile and being Happy. At lease for a couple of days I just got my tubing for my brakes and fuel line, thinking of using the mustangs gas tank and most wiring. It is nice to have a complete car to steal parts from, specially a car that will not need the motor back. See my truck needed its motor back so that is where my Z engine went, back home. I have 2 more 350 4 bolt, but to build one it would cost me to much, so that is why I'm using what I have. When I'm done I should be able to change out engines in a weekend and run 350 or 5.0 HO. Done the Chev ran great handled excellent. Never really like 302s but this 5.0 mustang was a kick. So 5.0 it is. Well got to go dinner time Take it easy all and have a Happy Holiday Adam of Washington

Great, I have a 86 GT 5.0 with lots of dents I picked up for $400. I was chev 350 but it had to go back into the truck. Looks like I will be going ford. The 5.0/t5 runs great. I'm off for a week so it looks like i will be busy. Great site and lots of great info. Thanks You made up my mind. Adam of Washington st Happy holidays to all

Hi, Been waiting to see if anyone is doing this just started to put a 12 curcit (Painless)in my 72. I have the dash out and looking at this,boy. I have moved my fuse box behind the seats and under the consel, made a pigtail to make it stretch. Now I need to figure out where the wires go on the new panel. Does anyone have a schetch? Any help would be great Can one just move the wires from one panel and put them on the other? Or do you have to run new hot wires to everything? Thanks Adam

Hi, Just about ready to swap rear ends. I have a R180 in the car now which I have abused badly with my V8, and before I put it back on the road I want to swap out rearends. I have R200 with mustache bar. Now what should I watch out for? What is the recommended for bushing (brand & price)? Is there a tech page I can read on this swap? Any help would be great just want to be safe before I take this topless flying machine on the road. Thanks Adam
