Popped a wheelie in front of my house. ZZ4 with a TH400 tranny. It was dyno'd at 410 RWHP and over 400ft/lbs of torque. Gonna make a thread soon because I need suggestions on stuff as this is my first pickup.

Please do!

You guys would kill me if you knew what I paid for it [emoji6]

How close is the passenger side valve cover to the blower housing? My buddy put a ls1 in an older s10 and I had to modify the side of the blower housing to clear. It's a tight squeeze.

Nice rig and install, although it is not a ZZ4 engine.

It looks like a traditional style warmed over small block chevy, they engine is probably from a truck and with a hot cam they intake and carb probably produces 350 HP at the flywheel. Which is why it is fast that is still an excellent power to weight ratio, to get 410 at the wheels you need almost 500 hp at the crank.
The intake, carb, and valve covers are from a ZZ4 crate engine that they transferred over to that engine.

PS: have fun

the valve covers would not be interchangeable.
The zz4 (L98) head has centerbolt valvecovers

Can't get the casting number without ripping out the engine. It's in a really shitty spot. I'm just gonna contact the original owner that did the swap. She's a keeper, but I'd like to know whats actually under the hood for my own knowledge and if I ever sell. I'm 110% sure the tranny is a TH400

My Self if they told me it was one thing and it turns out to be something different. Id be looking for some kind of compensation back. Opinions may Vary.

Long story short, I'm into it for VERY little money. I'm really not concerned

Which pan are we talking about? Oil or transmission?

Derek (or another mod), can we please move this? I don't want to clutter up the thread with unrelated stuff

All my Blocks were this #
All 4 bolt Mains. You might be able to see the # but hard in a Vehicle like that where the Engine is Tight. The last one I did had 401 HP and was a cheap Budget build to stay in the 12's in the 1/4 nothing crazy. Dart heads, 292 Comp cam, Harland sharp roller rockers. Etc.

Franchi Instinct L in 20 GA... My new upland bird and clays gun. Hopefully there will be a retreiver puppy to go along with it soon.

Kill you for paying too much? Or kill you because we would have outbid you? Sorry but the suspense is killing me.

New home for the firearms. Took advantage of the Eastern Security Safe group sale.

So I was too cheap to pay for installation so they left it in my garage. Luckily I had what I needed to move it around.

In its new home

Now the gun fund is going to be dry for quite some time.

Nice truck. I prefer the older style Tundra/Tacoma. Wish they would bring them back.

Not too much this month - a couple of small concealable knives

Winchester 94

My first lever action rifle 30-30 Winchester 94. Made in 1958 and has some blueing wear where it was carried but otherwise in excellent shape. Need to clean and then will take to the range.

Local gun store find last week. My wife drew my attention to it, as I had completely missed it in the display case. I think she secretly works with the shop people to take my money.

1971 or thereabouts Dan Wesson 15 (pork chop shroud) in .357 Magnum, 2 barrels, box, papers, tool. Only thing missing was the gap gauge but I already have one for my DW 22. Very good condition and previous owners(s) may have use the 2" barrel more than the 4", but not that much overall.

Cleaned it up tonight, and its going to the range tomorrow.
