How to tell engines
I am thinking about possibly getting an 3rd gen for a dally driver. I was wondering how do you tell what kind of engine it has? I would like to get one with at least 200hp. Im leaning more towards a IROC but I may take what I can get.
I know with IROC you can look at the tach to see the cam and the shifter **** will be square if you have a 5.7 but when I see a car online they realy don't show that.

make sure you do your homework...a 305 and a 350 look pretty much identical on engine stands. I could be wrong, but I always thought the 87 IROC was the first thirdgen camaro to have the 5.7 stock. Check the vin out and make sure there was never an engine swap and you'll know what kind of engine is in there. You never know what the vin # could be hiding. In my case my vin says I have a 2.8L but you can clearly see it's not...though it would be quite difficult(probably damn near impossible) to tell the difference between a 305 and a 350, especially when it's already in the car . Just my .02
