Yea i saw a IROC for sale on my way home from work... turns out he only wanted $800 for it and it runs.. Interior in terrible shape, paints decent... And its yellow (rare from what i hear)

TPI 350 motor runs rough and its pretty slow... doesn't pull as hard as the v6

But this got me thinking. I really want to drop a ls1 and then from there put mabye $1500-2000 in it over the next year or so..... I'm really excited and now i have 3 camaros parked outside my house mabye its officially a collection


Anyone have any links about a L98 to ls1 swap or any advise on the topic

 

yep, they are pretty rare.
What year is it?
May want to consider restoring that one to original.
Would like to get rid of my fourth-gen so I can get my third third-gen!

 

If your thinking you can do a LS1 swap for 1-2k, you are mistaken.

LS1tech.net
Thirdgen.org

Both good places to SEARCH for information regarding LS1 swaps.

 

please restore that car to original, or give it to me. Those yellow ones are gonna be worth some money.

 

I was saying do ls1 swap and from there put 1-2k, i know it isn't cheap.


Its an 88, and i didn't know yellow was that rare


I would like to restore the car but in the shape its in now thats gonna be tough, I've completly restored the white 88 iroc-z for the most part. I'll be able to do the same with this one

As for the motor i believe it needs a new one the car has 210k miles on it and its leaking oil from the valve covers thats an easy fix but its also burning alot of oil(ALOT) from what i can see. I've been looking at several crate motors to do a swap but since i'm going to swap why not drop a ls1 in. Then again i might just keep the TPI and get a crate 350. Its tough to say what i want to do at this point, i'm just glad i got the car and i probably wont ever get rid of it. It's probably gonna stay in the garage for a while slowly fix interior. Good news is the paint is actually really nice after i washed it up, guess i got lucky on that

 

PICS PLEASE!!, or TTIWWOP.

 

Sounds like i need to drive a couple of hours over to huntsville and look around for a cheap 3rd gen.If you ever want to sell the yellow one let me know.I am not that far away.

 

Good find! Those yellow ones are indeed a rare car

 

Ill try to get the pics going i dont have a digital cam.

Lol 350TPI there are always 3rd gens in the paper for sale between 1500-2500 if you can try to check out the huntsville times. Thats how i picked up my first IROC, they are all over the place here


And what is TWIWWOP???

 

nice find...hell you could always strip it down and make a badass sleeper.

i've seen some fire-breathing SBC crate motors that would be a simple swap. maybe a nice 427ci small block

"TTIWWOP"

this thread is worthless with out pics
