ZZ4 Intake Installation

Below are a couple of pictures of my ZZ4 intake installation on my 1985 Z28. The only issue was the cruise control bracket needed the holes elongated to provide slack in the cable. Otherwise it went smoothly. Very little gasket matching and porting was necessary. Now my little 305 pulls much harder and effortlessly to the 5500 redline.

Now fond you some DR rods from a Van or Truck or HO 305 and a hanger that is lower in the alpha numbers. You probably have CK rods on a M hanger. My old G20 loved the factory DRs on a F hanger from a 1988 307 Cadillac dropped down from the factory K hanger.
