: Nice Page! I've been searching the net looking for the
: info on dropping a ZZ4 into my stock
: '90 C1500 4.3L 5 speed.
: Questions:
: - I'm sure someone has done this. How well does the
: truck handle that high HP ?? Are the overall gains
: worth it - I'd like it to be reliable. Plan to put
: about 12K miles per year on it.
: - What's the optimal tranny. Is my getrag 5 sp worth
: keeping. (I'm planning on a posi - 3.73 rear end)
: - Any pointers to web sites/books/or mags would be
: appreciated.
: thanks

Sounds like fun to me. Dump the getrag its junk put a T-56 6 speed in it. You will need some traction control for the rear.Good shocks and maybe some type of a traction bar, TOM
