here's my situation: i bought a 85' iroc from this guy in conn. it still runs good and strong but smokes a littl... he told me his mechanic scrapped the original 85 305 tpi and put in a 88' 350 tpi. now whein i gutted the car to restore it, the ECM and harness looks like it was never changed and he cut the A/C??? there are also a few more noticable missing pecies here and there... is this poss? for a 85 comp to work with a 88 motor? i want to buy a new 350 but need to know whats missing? can someone give me a detailed msg about how he did this? and what i will definitly need when looking for a new motor?? thanks... all info will be greatly appreciated! the more replies the better! even FYI's :hail: :hail: :hail:
