I am restoring an '87 IROC-Z. I bought the car on ebay in Indiana. I flew there and drove the car back to Texas with a stop on the Power Tour in St. Louis to join my dad ('69 Z-10 Pace Car Camaro, which he brought me home in from the hospital when I was born and my uncle '68 GTO 12.70 street car featured in the Feb. issue of Pontiac Performers Magazine in '05). I stopped and took pictures of the car at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and every state line I came across on the way home. Here is a list of the things I will be doing to this Camaro. Let me know what you think.

custom ported plenum w/ slp runners
221b/hr injectors
hooker super comp headers
flowmaster street thunder exhaust
msd 6al box
custom computer chip

Transmission:

B&m ratchet shifter ( the one that fits in the factory console)

Suspension:

This cowboy should fly.

 

hey i need some help,am in the process of rebuilding my tranny and motor for my 87 iroc with a 350tpi and a 700r4 tranny and i been looking for a ratchet shifter that would fit in the factory console and i see you stated that u have one,is there anyway u have a part # for it or the name ,so i can find it thanks alot i would appreciate it and by the way nice specs/keep it up.

 

Classic Industries Catalog page # 839.
Part # 223003
$169.95

This shifter bolts directly into your console, and comes with the factory style shift indicator.

 

Looks great Congrats on the buy... that should be some car

 

oh wow looking good! Out of curiosity, how hard was it to remove everything from the engine bay like you did (wiring/A/C stuff etc )? I ask because a "friend" of mine is doing the exact same thing!! lol

 

Hi i received your reply thanks alot i appreciate it i will certainly purchase one,if its not to much trouble,but if u have a picture of the shifter inside the car can u send it to me so i can check it out thanks alot for everything

 

It is not hard at all.You begin by disconnecting all of your wiring and labeling each connector. The wiring harness for the engine bay is a seperate harness. The harness connects to the computer on the right hand side inside the fender well. If you follow the harness back to the inside of the fender well, you will see a black connection point. This is a b*#%h to get apart, as it has a plastic coating on it that will have to be taken off before you can disconnect the harness. Once you get that stuff off, you are good to go. If you have any other questions, let me know.

 

ahh thanks. I (er um ...my friend lol) just removed the headlight/horn/accessory wiring harness. Moving to the computer harness soon. Most people just say "disconnect it". Thanks for the detailed description though! Really helps to know this kind of stuff ahead of time
