I'm wondering if there is a difference between an 84 Z28 and a base model 85? I already have the Z but would like to get the 85 because it doesn't have the electrical mess that my Z does and the heater works. I have a lot of newer parts on my car that I would like to transfer such as the radiator, hood and trunk shocks, brakes (all of it), and other random things. Thanks for any help you can give.

 

No one has any input???

 

Assuming they already have the same engine, the only difference will be in suspension components.

 

What's different about the suspension?

 

The suspension on the Z is better, however that will swap on the 85. It isn't different as far as design, just stiffness. Everything you listed in your original post is compatible from 82-92.

 

Thanks...that's what i was thinking but wasn't sure. You guys rock!!!

 

Apart from the swaybars, anything that's different between the two is long since old and worn out. You'd be better off with new replacements.
