KEN GRAHAMlooking for a zz4 hydraulic roller or similar
Hi all,
Have not posted in a while, not been racing much for last year or so, but about time to play again.
I need a SBC hydraulic roller cam for one of my old IHRA Crate motor stocker engines. Just need a stock zz4 or similar light performance cam. Hate to buy a new one, when I am sure someone has a cam laying around they forgot about and will never use. Just trying to get this motor back together for a mild performance street motor.
Let me know what you have, what you need for it?
Thanks in advance!
Ken

TPatonKen i used to have a zz383 in my street Camaro. I bought a bigger cam for it, and never used it, its brand new. Its an edelbrock 2207 hydraulic roller. Look up the specs and see if this will work for you.

B.C.MalibuI can’t upload the cam card pic.
What’s your email address.

TPatonBC, i didnt post a pic of the cam card. I can get the cam card info when i get home this evening. It should be on their site, or on summit or jegs site as well.

KEN GRAHAMTPaton,
Thanks for the reply. That cam has quite a bit more lift than the stock zz4. Should make it run much better, IF it will fit without hitting.
I am trying to check on GM and other sites, to see if it will work with stock heads.
How much do you need for this?
thanks again
Ken

M120Just curious since this is a ZZ4 post, what mileage are you guys getting from a ZZ4 on the street?
I have one with lots of 1/4 mile passes on it and might put it in my 96 pick up. 11:40s in a 3150 Chevelle on alky stock.
Last check was 200psi compression.
I'd use the factory EFI or get an aftermarket throttle body EFI.
On a different note, I bought a set of 1.6 rockers from jegs/china that I never used.
I wanted to pull the engine and check valve to piston and coil bind. I think coil bind is the issue.
Sorry to hijack!

TPatonI had a zz383 in my Camaro, 2800-3000 stall, turbo 350, 4.10 gear. I never really checked it, as it got "smiles per gallon". If i had to guess, I'd say around 10.

KEN GRAHAMM120,
Sorry, cant tell you what mileage, maybe someone else on here can.
But, these motors run very well. Put some better springs on there, and put the rocker arms on.
When I was running these as IHRA crate motor stocker engines, we had to have "stock" lift, but could run a lot more duration on the cam. Would spin them to 7K+ on top end.
Good luck.
Ken
