Another question for the smart people here.
All right guys, its my understanding that the only differences between the 1987-1990 Camaro’s is they came in three option classes, IROC, Z-28, and RS. Furthermore, in 1991-1992 there were some minor interior/exterior changes.
The IROC’s weren’t anything to special, tuned port injection, different spring rates, bigger tires, bigger rims, bigger sway bars, the like, nothing that couldn’t/wouldn’t get replaced on any car I get, Z-28 were a step down, some came with carbs, but the basic options were still there (ie: 5 speed, and all other interior options that came on the IROC’s), And the RS was an anemic Camaro that had a 6 banger, here is where my question arises, what are the exact differences in the RS and the Z-28, I want to buy a Camaro and swap a used 1994 LT-1 with a T-56 six speed, so the engine part is not really that important. Did the RS’s come with different gauges? Did they come with a different rear-end Gears? I need to know specifics. I would really appreciate a lot of pictures with this one guys.
Now about the swap, would it really be feasible to do a 5.7L T-56 swap into a third gen that came w/ a little 6 banger?

I don't know much in the line of histories here bud but yes the gear ratios are different in the rs vs the z28 if I'm not mistaken the gears are different in each class rs,iroc,z28 but not sure and as to the dash layout i think that is the same in the like other then the speddo reading a higher speed on the iroc and z28s this is just from looking at them at the local salvage yards and wanting to but a 140mph spedo in my v6 I was racing a friend in a 96 formula and i was pegged he said we were going 125 but i dunno seing as my has a supposed gov on it and is to shut off at 118 so ppl say here.
Hope i helped a little but it seems to me that this forum don't get much trafic and you might dirrect your question toward the history/restoration section ??? :-)
