I have read up all the other postings on doing this swap? I have an '88 IROC-Z 5.0 T.B.I. I plan on buying a '88 - '90 5.7 T.P.I Donor car. I kow the basic things to remove off the car, obviously the engine, wiring harness, ecm, fuel pump. Everyone says to go look at the tech article? And theonly Tech Article I see is converting a 90-92 T.B.I.

But what else should I take off the car that I will need for the swap? I have read some poeple have even changed dashboards and even the fuel lines on this conversion?

Could someone give me a full list of every thing I need from the donor car, anyone that has done this Swap that knows any of the little things aswell?

Thanks....

I NEED TO KNOW THIS AS WELL, I'm trying to swap my 88 iroc into a 89 RS. What all do i need to swap out? suspension? rear end? please help

 

P.S. how long would it take with proper tools to transfer all the things i need to from my 88 IROC into my 89 RS?

 

Well, this is pretty old. Sorry it was never answered.

Throttle cables are the only other things I can think of.

VATS may be an issue, depending upon the donor & receptor years.

TPI cars tended to have a slightly better suspension & gearing, but changing springs/swaybars/transmission/diff aren't "required".

 

okay, but wich parts of those are the same, i was looking at the RS and IROC. WHAT parts are different mechanicaly from an 88RIOC TPI w/ 350 tpi and the 305 TBI 89 RS????

 

ECM, fuel pump.

Everything else you can see, if you've got both vehicles side-by-side.
