I own a 1990 IROC. I like it a lot and all, but when I bought it, I thought it was a rare car, for it was equipped with an Iron Duke. For those of you not familiar, the Iron Duke is the 2.5 4 cyl engine found in many Camaros. I've never heard of one being in an iroc though. Is my car some rariety, or do you think I was underhanded?

 

whats the VIN number?

that engine was only available from 82-84, never in an iroc, or a 90 model?

got any pics?

whats the catalyst sticker say?

 

If it has an L4 it's not a 1990 unless it was swapped in. Why someone would want to do that I have no idea.

 

That definatly isn't factory. Either someone swapped the engine in there for some odd reason, or they put all the iroc stuff on an Iron Duke car, maybie they switched over the VIN plate?

 

The vin number on the car is 1G1FP2329LL013857

 

Ever since I picked up my iroc duke I have wanted to get some more performance out of it, I was excited to find this engine in the car, I mean, the thing is just made for it, you know? Runs nice and smooth... So what I need to know is where should I start to make this thing the speed demon I know it has the potential to be??

 

Strange, put it through the Vin decoder and it says "2 is not a known engine code". Sure that vin is right?

Made in: United States
Manufacturer: General Motors
Make: Chevrolet
Carline Code: F-Body
Carline Series: Camaro (all models)
Body Type: 2 door coupe (hatchback)
Restraint System: Manual belts (driver inflatable)
2 is NOT a known Engine Code!
9 is the CHECK DIGIT
Model Year: 1990
Assembly Plant: Van Nuys
Production Sequence: 013857

 

according to manual i have 2 is the engine code for a 4cyl iron duke but was only available in fbodies from 82-86.

 

That vehicle doesn't even exist. I put the VIN in the carfax detection thing and it says its invalid.

 

ok, what dash is in it..... does it have an airbag... if its a 90 it should??

sounds like BS

 

The engine code should be T (I think thats it for a V6) E (305 TBI), F (305 TPI) and 8 (350 TPI)

Double post

Did it run a 12 secont in the 1/4 mile because its lighter too?

 

I think someone is messing around too, prolly just took the near correct vin and replaced the engine code with a early 80's 4 cyl # (2). and look at the post count.

 

Anyone know when GM stopped producing a RWD version of the iron duke? I believe the last year for it in an Fbody was 1985.

 

1986 was the last year of the Iron Duke in the F-body.

 

Iron duke runs nice and smooth???? I had an 85 grand am with an iron duke and it nearly shook the dash apart when it was running smooth! Iron dukes were durable, but noisy and would shake your fillings out! As I understand the second hand story some pontiac zone rep got fired for making a vibrator comment about the thing.

 

 

:werd:

 

no!

 

Well wait guys, if a 3rdgen can come with a 350 and a 5-speed surely an Iroc can come with a Iron Duke...
