Candian camaros.

Guys im about 99% sure that chevy never put a stick behind a 350 in the 3rd gens correct? I had a guy at advanced auto tell me that his camaro came with a 350 with a stick..and that it came from canada. I just shook my head and smiled at him. Set me straight here guys...thanks. pretty sure it is a 91-92z.

Sounds to me like you're already straight.

No 350s with the 5 speed, anywhere. All 3rd gen Camaros were made in CA or OH. It doesn't matter where the car ended up, it was still made at these 2 locations. You can't visually tell the difference in the 350 TPI and the 305 TPI. He probably thinks he has a 350 because of the performance. If he has a G92 packaged car, the 305 will hold pretty close to the 350 so it's easily confused as a 350

I back up that fact as well that there were NO factory 350 5spd third gens sold here in Canada.

We (Canadians) only got the exciting options like block heaters and metric gauges!

Give him a slap in the back of the head from us!
