It is an 87 iroc-z28 with the 5 speed. I was told it is a 305 but I didn't know they put the 305 with the 5 speed. I think it is a 350. Anyway, for 1600 with a new transmission and paint I couldn't go wrong.

If it is a 305 try to get a pair of injectors from a 350 from the classifieds board as well as an AFPR. You have 19 lb hr, 350s have 21 lb hr.

With a few modifications and driving mostly highway I'm getting 31mpg. I do have extensive work to the chip though. But if I am a lead foot I only get about 15-17 in the city.

89 Iroc 350 leather, power everything. For Free. My dad bought it for me!!!!
j/k.
Nice price for that car. Yep, 305. Check the tech articles or data for specs of the engine. I would like to get another one in decent shape to make a race car out of it.
