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.
