Engine: L92/LQ4 (both w/4" stroke)
Transmission: 4L80E/4L80E

Which '86 305: LG4, L69, or LB9?
Are you running your existing induction and ignition, or the parts that came on the ZZ4?
What exhaust are you using?
What transmission do you have?
I haven't done it personally, but have a co-worker who did a ZZ3 back when they were the ticket.
