The ZZ4 comes with a flex plate if I'm not mistaken, and if you use it I'm 90% sure the starter will work. The alternator and other accessories will definitely work.

hey fbird88 how did you get your stock tbi fuel pump to work? i talked to jegs and they told me i need a new feul pump, cuz if i used the stock one then i would have to run an afpr and run a return line to the tank to use the stock one and at that point i would have done more work and and money than just puttin in a new pump, and on top of that it would only be a temperary fix, is this true?

It'll last until the stock pump dies. It could last 5 years or 5 days. It's more work to run a new fuel pump than to put in an AFPR. The tank already has a return line so you just conect it to the AFPR. And it will also cost less than a new pump. In the long run, it may or may not be the best solution, but its the simplest. I always keep at least 1/4 tank of gas because its old and needs to run cool. When it dies, I'll probably drop the tank and replace it with another stock pump.
is it possible to swap the 305 tbi with the zz4 i asked a couple sights like the scoggin dicky, jegs and i think i asked the gmpp site, if it is possible i would like to know thanks guys
