I recently bought a 86 z28 with a 350 and a 5-speed tranny. I finaly got the thing timed and all the tweaks worked out. Well I was going down 78 highway when i come up to a red light. This 94 or 95 camaro pulls up beside me. The thing was pretty loud but i did not see any z28 badges. So the light turns green and i put on abought half the accel we were right beside each other. I shifted down into second(the best gear) and floored it to see what this $800 car would do! My head snapped back as i pulled about 2 car lenghts in one gear. Now i know this was a 3.4v6 with probrably just exhaust. But i thought it was pretty good in the fact that my mechanic told me my spark plugs and spark plug wires were not good and my carberator was just plane worn out!

one of the spark plug wires were burned by the exhaust.

I reject your reality and substitute it with my own

 

Sweet. Now go do a full tune up, and it'll be even better.

 

make sure that you have a 350 in there, and not a carbed 305. If whoever you bought it from said it was stock, then its a 305

 

No its had a 350 motor and a 5-speed tranny put in it

 

goood! Didnt know if you knew or not. When I bought my car, I was told it was a 350, but then i did not know a thing about thirdgens.....wish i knew then what i knew now.

 

whenever ive asked someone about the thirdgen theyre trying to sell, im always told it has a "350 Vette motor" in it
