My New 86' IROC-Z (Sig thread + lots of pics)
well i got it a couple days ago. but i been busy lol.
Well heres the story, i bought a 85 silverado custom deluxe for 500$ it would run but it needed work to drive, so i traded straight-up for a 86 iroc-z camaro. it has a 350 and a TH350 from a 87 chevy 2500 model van. when i got it the guy had put a quadrajet(?) intake with a holly 4barrel 600cfm. but he said that all the orginal wiring for the TPI was there, so i got lucky and found a TPI setup at my local junkyard in great condition. the past couple days i been working on getting the TPI setup on. heres some pics ( in order)

Re: My New 86' IROC-Z (Sig thread + lots of pics)
There isn't anything missing from under the intake. That's where the spider tray would bolt up if you were running a factory roller cam setup, however you arn't you are running a flat tappet cam. If you wanted to swap to a roller cam in the future all you would need is the cam, lifters, spider tray, cam retainer, correct length pushrods, and the proper timing set. Edit: you could always go back to the junkyard and get all the roller cam parts from that donor car if the prices are cheap there, it will save you a lot of money and time in the future if you decide to convert. I wish I knew where that red donor car is.. I could use some body parts off of it if they were in decent shape

There are 2 th350's, a short tail and a long tail. I'm not sure what they measure exactly tho, take a pic and we should be able to tell you which you have. Do you already have a driveshaft for it? Is the torque arm attached properly? Also did you get the fuel lines also? Looks like you need a new o2 sensor and make sure you get yourself a knock sensor for a 350, it'll run like poop with a 305 knock sensor. It still won't be as fast as it would have with that carb on there but tpi setups look so much cooler
