It's a common misconception. T-Tops were available on Iroc-z's with 350's in 87, 88, & 89. After the HP was bumped up to 245 in 1990, T-tops disappeared from 350 cars.

You should check your SPID label in your console for RPO CC1. That will tell you for sure that your car originally came with T-Tops.
There are aftermarket T-tops out there. But they are mainly 90-92 cars when T-tops weren't as available as they were in 87.

Chances of anyone doing that is low. There are tons of early-model IROC's and Z's with t-tops and an L98.

You're right... There are a LOT of 87-89 350 equipped T-top cars around...
