Well 350's dont come with 5 speeds, they made too much torque for the tranny to handle, so it probably not an original but still thats the set up I would want. If its a good deal I would still pick it up. What condition is it in? and how many miles are on it?

350's didn't come with convertibles either. Its possible that it can be an iroc with rear drum brakes but it should still have an iroc hood. Go to www.thirdgen.org/techboard in the history section and post your question. Also list the first 8 numbers of the vin and they'll decode it for u.

Here's what you need to know
http://www.thirdgen.org/1988-chevy-camaro
That would be awesome tho if it were a 350TPI 5speed, **** throw some gears on it and that thing will be pretty quick. If you do get it and it is a 350 than be easy on the trans. those t5's dont hold up to too much more power that what they are rated for(300LB torque)

I know that TPI TERROR knows this, but keep in mind that those digits are referring to TPI motors only. There are other codes that do designate other motors with other types of induction systems.

sounds like a good deal we got this one for 1700 but it didnt run and it only had a tbi auto. but with intake gaskets it ran and after we drove it we pulled that pile out and put a real engine in. https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...swap-pics.html

well i dont think ima buy it no more after talking more to the guy whos selling it he said it was wrecked from the front thats why it has no iroc hood and he also said its missing exhaust all of it.its missing the speedometer cable has the check engine light on and the rear end has been swaped to drums weird its a 3 hour drive so i might just keep looking 4 one closer to home
