First off, 86' Iroc Camaro that currently has no engine/trans/driveline. It was born with a 305/auto and I want it to be a 350/5 or 6 speed. Most likely a 5 speed because of the price of a t56. I am in between carb vs fuel injection.

Cars purpose:

This car is a Sunday driver restore project. My plan is to get the engine and trans fitted and drive it around to make sure everything works because from what I read when installing the t5, I will have to cut a hole and weld a double plate to the firewall. So I want to install everything and make sure it all fits before I do the repaint.

I chatted with a Summit tech and he referred me to this engine if I was to go with the carb.

I was looking at all options so I want to see what people are doing that have the same generation Camaro as me.

 

If I were buying a new motor I would not go flat tappet. Carb will get you going but if it is in your budget EFI is the way to go.
