Hello all, I've got a 91 RS with a Silverado engine in it that just isn't working out, I'm definitely thinking I need to find an engine that'll work better in this car. The guy before me put a 6.0 vortec in it and a th350 transmission but realized it wouldn't work without working on everything else, so I've been doing what I can for maintenance and such. With a fuel line and a header leak and some rust I've been looking around for any engines or parts I may be able to use. The shop that had my car was going to charge me 3400 to fix just the engine and 8k to swap it (yikes). I've got a couple things like the rear diff and I'll need new rotors and brakes all around too, but if anyone knows anyone selling something I could use or a place that may have them in the Austin area or around, I'd really appreciate it.




(Edit: I found a 350 kit for under 4k, I know I would need more parts to go with it if anyone could let me know what else I would need I would appreciate jt. I'm asking for a lot of info but I'm trying to figure things out and do it right.)

I just listed my 28,200 mile, 1987 IROC's 5.7L engine, the 700R4 transmission, the engine wiring harness and ECU along with the ceramic coated headers and the complete exhaust system for $3000 on FB Marketplace. I'm in Montgomery, TX about 3 hours east of you. If you're still interested, you can see it here:

I just noticed that it says that the FB post is no longer available. I need to figure out what's going on since I just listed it a few minutes ago.

 

Let's try this again.

I'm sorry. I don't know what's going on but it does show up on FB under "Houston" and "IROC engine."

Airwolfe, thank you for posting that. After copying and pasting, it does take you right to my FB Marketplace listing.

 

I'm partying out and scraping an 87 IROC with a 350. Unknown miles (no dash). Previous owner removed the TPI bits (I have a lot of it... He hacked up the wiring harness sadly) and the engine has a brand new summit intake, new carb, new looking distributor cap. Headers. I'm in college station. I'm literally pulling the engine this week.

 

did it ever sell @dannyual320

 

Yes I sold this. If you need used TPI parts let me know

 

No. I pulled it off the market and decided to keep it. I didn't want to sell it and the entire wiring harness and then realize down the road that I needed some of the wiring. Probably not but who knows? Not only that, but my younger daughter really likes my red '87 IROC but she'd like to have a black IROC of her own. If I ever buy her one, at least I know that I have a perfectly good running, low mileage 350TPI to swap in if need be.
