ZZ4 350 Base

As far as crate engines go, this one is a winner. The ZZ4 350 Turn-Key crate engine has been one of our most popular high performance crate engines since we started GM Performance Parts. Its legendary status is based on an incredible performance level that is stone cold reliable. We’ve packed the ZZ4 350 Chevy crate engine with a forged steel crankshaft, hypereutectic pistons, hydraulic roller camshaft and lifters, and aluminum cylinder heads. The ZZ4’s Corvette-derived high-performance heads feature high velocity intake runners and D-shaped exhaust ports to promote efficient and unobstructed flow through the engine—providing strong power and torque at all RPM levels.

The Chevy ZZ4 350 crate engine comes to your door with an aluminum dual-plane intake manifold, HEI distributor, cast iron water pump, damper, and flexplate. You only need to add a carburetor, starter, fuel pump, and plug wires to fire it up! Of course, all of those parts are available through GM Performance Parts (or buy a Turn-Key).
