IROC Z L98 from Russia

Hello everybody

I want to tell you little strory about my lovely Camaro IROC.
At first i had 2 cars 1982 Z28 Euro version "for parts" and 1986 Iroc Z T-top 5.0 TBI.

As result i want to have 85-90 Iroc Z look with L98.

It started in 2015. Me and my friend start to disassemble 1982 for building 1986. We want to stay with 5.0 carb and THM200C

Paint was not good. I was vey disapoint.

We had some troubles so Iroc went to sleep for 1.5 years. During this time i meet restorer, who took my car for building. So Camaro goes to his workshop. And he start to build my Dream!

Good looking build! It's hard to tell from the picture what part your having trouble with.

"Good looking build! It's hard to tell from the picture what part your having trouble with."

Bracket for t-top weatherstrip.

Re: IROC Z L98 from Russia

Amazing build considering where you are and access to parts!

Wouldn't it have been cheaper just to buy one here in GREAT condition and ship it over?

Unfortunatly, it is VERY old photo and this intake runners go away long time ago.
Do you think i should try to find it for my 5.7? Will i need new ECM or can use stock after instal new runners?

Tnanx!

Re: IROC Z L98 from Russia

Man that thing started out really clean considering your winters are colder and a little longer than we have here in the states. They do not use salt on the roads? Great build!

As long as i owner, this car will not see any snow! :) Only summer and spring

Re: IROC Z L98 from Russia

Amazing build my friend. Definitely keep us all updated, keep posting up pics. Really cool to know a thirdgen is rolling on the streets over there, definitely a headturner for you.

I would suggest on buying those SLP Siamese Runners.

And my question was are you fully restoring the car? I apologize for it all being in the same sentence.
