Another question for the smart people here.
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?

Besides the suspension stuff you already mentioned, the only thing I can think of off the top of my head are that the speedo won't read as high, the tach will redline at a lower rpm, the rearend probably won't have a posi, and it will most likely come with 2.73 gears. More than likely drum brakes on the back, too.
