350 tpi irocs w/5speed

 

Nope. Biggest motor offered w/a 5-speed was the LB9 305 TPI.

 

oh *** you just opened up the biggest can'o worms.....BYW the answer is still no 350w/T5

 

 

Nope, sure wasn't.

Though I have seen a few, they do exist, just not factory.

 

NO factory ones made...

 

I've foud that alot of folks think that just because they've got a V8, it is automatically a 350. Most of the IROCs and Trans Ams were 305's. I've driven some damn fast 305 cars though. I like the idea of the manual tranny better than the auto. I prefer to row my own, and damnit when I want a gear, I want it NOW. I'm looking at doing a TPI HT383/T56 swap in my car.

 

Isn't that the truth!!!! I used to work for Auto Zone a few years ago and if I had a penny for the amount of times I heard "I need a________ for a chevy tree-fitty" I'd be rich. Then you would ask what kind of vehicle and they would say "It don't matter, they're all the same." LOL. What was really funny was when some joker would insist that all small block chevys were the same!! That's when I'd hook him up with parts for a 283

 

uh, except for internal dimesions (bore, crank, bearing sizes) they are the same

 

Some guy noticed my car at work and came in and offered to buy it. He was asking me what kind of engine I had and everything. I couldnt seem to get the idiot to understand that you couldnt get a 350 with a 5 speed. What can you expect from a guy who says he really wants a 93 IROC. Needless to say I wouldnt sell to him or anyone else.

 

Like everyone is saying, they don't exist unless someone bothered to do an engine swap....like me. - see sig below.

 

Actually the 93 IROC R/T isn't that bad. Low 14s off the showroom floor, providing you can drive.

 

I know this guy who knows a guy's brother who was friends with a guy who had the only 5-speed 350 IROC ever built! Sorry, just had to include this since somebody always writes it when this topic comes up...

 

I wonder why they never did, though.

 

Oh, the classic scenario 350 and 5 speed...

oh yeah, well I know a guy who knows a girl that knows a guy that owns a factory L98 Z28 wtih 5 speed and T-tops and 1LE! .. kidding of course.

The tuned port 305s are called 350s all the time. Doesn't help matters that they look similar.
I even saw a '92 Z28 in a chevy dealership when I worked there that was being serviced. Since the '91/92 Zs were my favorite car I went over to look at it. The mechanic said "yep, those 350s are good motors". I then had to prove to him why it was a 305 because he didn't believe me.
...certified mechanic, haha

 

The T-5s weren't strong enough.

 

Man people act as though the 305 never existed. In the 3rd gen a 350 is a rare item.

 

I like my 305 it runs great and causes no trubbles

 

Amen Scania! LOL My 305 H.O. has 186,118 miles and is getting faster everyday.
