I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 1990 IROC-Z 5.7 (G-92) HARDTOP. THE CAR IS WHITE, WITH THE YELLOW AND GREY STRIPES. BODY IS STRAIGHT EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE OF DINGS IN THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE CAR COULD SURE USE A COLORSAND AND WASH THE INTERIOR. THE GUY SOLD ME THE CAR FOR $3000 WITH 18' IROCS W/ BRAND NEW TIRES AND ALSO GAVE ME THE STOCK 16' W/ THE TIRES SHOT OFF. IM ALSO THE 3RD OWNER AND THE CAR HAD 180K MILES. ANY HELP AND SUPPORT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

 

Sounds good, How's she run?

 

LIKE A BEAST. I HAVE MANY PLANS FOR THIS CAR AND NOT PLAN ON GETTING RID OF IT CONSIDERING THAT THE VALUE IS INCREASING ON THESE CARS THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK

 

yeah 90 iroc might be worth somthin in a few years..........hop to a cool paint job and maybe a engine overhaul/mod and some suspension mods and you should have a sweet ride

 

THE PAINT IS STILL GOOD. I THINK IF I JUST COLORSAND IT WILL LOOK GREAT. IM CURRENTLY BUILDING A 355 FOR IT. IT HAS THE EDELBROCK MANIFOLD WITH THE HIGH FLOW RUNNERS. IM USING THE STOCK TPI HEADS WITH A 3 ANGLE VALVE JOB, 1.6 ROLLER ROCKERS AND FLOWMASTER THUNDER SERIES CAT BACK EXHAUST. IM CURRENTLY DEBATING ON THE SUSPENSION AND REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO GO WITH OR CHANGE FIRST.
THANKS

 

got any pics?, what kinda cam you gonna run? if its for tpi make sure it makes its peak power around 4000/4500 rpm..........after that tpi takes a **** on your power band

 

IM NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF CAM I HAVE. AND I CURRENTLY DONT HAVE A PICS. WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU CONSIDER? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

 

well, id make sure what cam it is before you put it in........bad idea just mis matching parts and praying itll run good.........nice way to make a dog..........................it really all depends on what you wanna use the car for: road racing, drag, street, show?

 

WELL I SOLD THE 18' IROCS FOR 700 AND BOUGHT SOME 20' IROCS WITH 90% TIRE THREAD FOR 600. I WANT TO POLISH AND POWDERCOAT THE STOCK 16' AND BUY SOME GOOD TIRES FOR IT AND MAY BE SOME STICKIES. I WANT IT FOR STREET AND SOME SHOW. IM GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT TYPE OF CAM I HAVE AND THE DUARTION ON IT AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU.
THANKS

 

20s? i bet that looks good

 

YES IT SITS REAL NICE. FOR THE PRICE I GOT THEM FOR I CANT COMPLAIN

 

id try to trade em for some torque thrust 2s

 

well right now im trying to finish up the motor. then when the car is out ill worry about putting some aluminum wheels w/some good meat on them. oh also its 355 4bolt main and also forgot to add that i also have edelbrock headers and im going to run the stock dual snorkel w/ k and n filters

 

are the headers long tubes or shortys? if they are shortys you will be better off with manifolds......they wont leak and have about the same performance as short headers

 

So wrong. Use headers, shorties are fine, a good Y pipe, and new full 3" mandrel bent exhaust. Edelbrock headers aren't the best made for a third gen but will certainly be better than manifolds. 3rd gen manifolds are garbage.

 

yeah the headers are shorties.
