Anyone have any stories of an iron duke beating a geo or something =D. Lets hear em' =D.

 

id think it would lose agienst a 3cyl GEO with 3 fatpeople inside...


perhaps if you raced a moped on the top end from a roll.....?

 

:lala: :lala: LMFAO

 

Hahaha. Man, if I had a 4 banger camaro i'd be messing with everyone on my strip, i'd be hilarious racing grandma in her cavaliar and actually stay at my door.

 

An iron duke wouldn't have anything on a cavalier. 90hp 3600lb car LOL

I can only imagine how slow it would be.

 

My old 90 Grand Am had the Iron Duke and I could beat my girlfriend's Cavalier with it. this was back in 91, I can't remember what year the Cavalier was.

 

there is a good chance they had the same engine.

 

I used to have a 90 buick skylark with the iron duke in it...mine was rated at 115hp and 135ft*lbs tq. it had a 3 speed auto and it took over 178,000 hard miles before she actually died...and the motor didn't let go until I blew up the TQ converter and tranny...once that happened it all let go.

I used to get out of the hole really good in that car...I could normally get accross the intersection quicker than anyone else...but depending on what type of car they had they would normally come back and kill me.

I was walking through the junkyard the other day, and I came across a firebird that had a few parts, and everything under the hood was intact. Looked a little closer, and it was an Iron Duke. Car was dead, but the windshield said the motor was good. Where there ever any mod parts for those things, and how easily would the 2.5 replace the 2.0 in a cavy?

 

There was one guy who built a iron duke because of a weight break he got in his class. I don't remember the times he was running, but it was quick. Try a google, he used to have a website a couple years ago.

 

I sure there had to be some iron duke camaro kills sometime. Maybe back a decade or so. It would be like a ***** getting a kill today, possible but very improbable.

 

Does anyone have a third-g with an iron duke on this board?

 

I have an 84 Camaro with one in it.

Isn't is just a V8 cut in half long ways? Can't you put on stuff from a V8 just that you'd just use the one half.

 

LOL

that would work just as well as cutting the front off of all the V8 stuff to put on the 90* V6

 

MrDude beat me to it LOL.

Its not like a small block in any way shape or form.

 

I heard the Iron Duke was half of a Pontiac 301.

 

Yes...it's basically 1/2 of a 301. You can use sbc parts (single head, header, etc) on it providing it's a super duty block. Which costs $2500 new.

You can use SBC rockers too. I've got em on my 88 S10. With a Pacesetter header, custom 2.25" exhaust, 1.6 rockers, and a chip , my 5 speed 4.10 geared S10 went 16.5@79 on the GTech... I think I might be able to beat the occassional K-Car

 

You can use sbc rockers on a stock 2.5 head? Are you running a relatively stock engine in your S10?

Brandon

 

I told you MrDude_1

 

and i told you too... and im sure theres also a couple bolts that work on both too....

 

I have never beat anyone with my Iron Duke Firebird!

Just because Ive got a decent looking firebird, a lot of people reved me at lights. I never even tried!

Its pretty sad when I do try.

 

From what I understand, there is very little differences between the 2.5 in the S-10's and the fieros(mainly the block). If you have 1.6 rockers on, your robbing the motor of what power it has. A stock 2.5 in a fiero has 1.75 ratio rockers. You would also need to tap the head with studs to run them. Also, the heads should be different. But of course this is coming from the 2.5 in the fiero.

 

to reply to the one asking about changing the 2.0 out in the cavy for a f-bod iron duke, you cant do it. the f-bod iron duke is made for a RWD car, yours is a FWD. you can find one in a FWD car and it is a direct bolt-in...

Keep an eye out for Automatic Celebrities with blown transmissions. There's your Duke.
