Default Zz4 350

I am in the process of ordering a ZZ4 350 crate engine and have two questions;

1) I need a header recommendation. Good quality and performance are priorities but so is ground clearance. Gen 1 Camaro with two inch drop spindles. It will be a daily driver and I don’t need the constant challenge of avoiding every speed bump and driveway entrance

2) Does the oil pan that comes with the engine fit in a Gen 1. Again with sufficient ground clearance or should it be changed

Has anybody been down this path that can lend their expertise.

Thanks,

Con's 67

Thank you. I will check them out.
Do you know if the pan is the same for 67 Camaro as your Nova.
Did you end up using the pan that came with the ZZ4?

The pan that comes on the ZZ4 will fit your first gen.

I'm running a ZZ4 in a 70 Camaro. Live on a dirt road and the grading forces a huge elevation change entering my driveway.

I used Hedman Elite shorties to get the collector above the subframe.

The ZZ4 pan fits the second gen, although I use a 9 qt CV Products pan.

I know it's not answering your question, but I believe the first and second gen subframe is substantially similiar in this area.
