@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808منذ 5 سنواتNice. I have a 87 I've been wanting to tinker with. Now I know what NOT to do ! Lol 265

@Shane-Singletonمنذ 5 سنواتThat car is pretty darn clean. I'd have paid $3000 for that thing any day of the week and twice on Sunday! 19

@tyleravery44منذ 5 سنواتThe stock 305 could have made 300 on the bottle and saved the time and money..This makes Trick Flow look pretty bad. 163
@
@1439of2000منذ 5 سنواتThis format is just like a rehashed saturday morning episode of TRUCKZ from 1994. Aluminum heads and on the squeeze it didn't make 300hp. I'm surprised this video got uploaded on the internet. LOL 3

@jmv2015منذ 5 سنواتFor the money spent and stuff that got swapped, I'd rather do a junkyard 6.0 and carb it. 158

@techsir8866منذ 5 سنواتHOLY CRAP!!! Was obsessed with this car for years and NEVER found one in this good of shape for less than 8K. 2
@
@steveseattle6791منذ 5 سنواتI have never seen so much work and parts result in so little power. Full engine swap, aftermarket heads and cam Plus NOS and it didn't even crack 300 HP?! 292
@
@nbowling10trioمنذ 5 سنواتNice no rust body and wheels! Great platform for a sleeper build. Glad to see that your not going crazy and putting a five hundred horse engine in a chassis that not prepped for that kind of power. Awesome video guys 1

@valuedhumanoid6574منذ 5 سنواتI graduated HS in 86 and my parents got me an IROC Z for my grad present. It was identical to this model except the paint job was midnight blue. T-tops, id="hidden5" class="buttons"> same wheels, same motor. Black leather interior and I put an Alpine stereo system. God I loved that car. It was so quick, so head turning. Maybe I will get another for my midlife crisis. ....وسعت20
@
@randybrown6709منذ 2 سنواتWhat a blast from the past! I owned an '85 Yellow TPI 5.0 IROC-Z that eventually was stolen, and then replaced it with an '87.5 Yellow 5.7 TPI id="hidden6" class="buttons"> IROC-Z. The yellow used on both cars was actually different. I'm not sure when it changed but I suspect '85 and '86 yellow were the same, and '87 was different. My '87 had tan leather, Bose, and neither had T-tops. Good times! ....وسعت4

@Daehawkمنذ 5 سنواتMy wife had a 1986 Trans-Am when I met her in 87. We got a 85 in about 1990. Loved that car. Miss it. 1
@
@gtakilla22منذ 5 سنواتFigured out why the numbers were so disappointing. The cam they're running is tiny. The cam info they give in the video is for Trick Flow's id="hidden8" class="buttons"> 31402002 Hydraulic Roller Cam. Which is pretty aggressive and you can tell that's not what's in the car when you hear it idle and pull. They're running a flat tappet, likely the TFS-31401000. A mild flat tappet: - 212/214 @ 0.050" lift - 0.443"/0.449" Valve lift with 1.5 Rockers With such low lift, lazy lobes, and short duration teamed up with the stock IROC exhaust (stock y-pipe is the killer). 230 whp and 276 ft-lbs is about what I'd expect through a high mileage 700R4. Roughly 270 hp and 330 ft-lbs at the crank. Sounds about right. The heads can't even be taken advantage of due to the low lift. ....وسعت17
@
@chemicalsporeمنذ 5 سنواتI gained a 135 hp in my LS with just a head and cam swap. This is unethical. 47
@
@OCofthe3منذ 5 سنواتWhat did I just watch? With those heads and cam, it should have been around 400hp. 93

@71Asrogersمنذ 5 سنواتNot bad hp baseline. I always like the 5.0 TPI setup. I think they were really underrated and had untapped potential. 1

@Scott_Gمنذ 5 سنواتWhat's one of the most iconic things about an IROC? TPI! Why the hell did you remove it! 21
@
@ninamcclure2193منذ 4 سنواتLoved it guys, those Camaros are Iconic. I think the commentors are not realizing that you are doing rwhp not at the crankshaft. Anyways keep up the good work if you read this.

@
@jasonvicars226منذ 5 سنواتYeah, cool build but with that budget you could've done more hp! Hell, you could've done a turbo blow thru carb at 6-8 psi! Keep your channel rolling! Props! 2
@
@hooner2009منذ 5 سنواتMy parents owned one of these. It was black and gray and I drove it to junior prom. Great memories. Too bad someone stole it out of the driveway before I got to drive it again to senior prom.
@
@Eleminopمنذ 5 سنواتThat was lame, especially for what they spent on heads/cam/intake. A stock 4.8ls would have done better and cost less. 57

@
@c41manمنذ 5 سنواتI like the rebuild parts including the heads, intake, HEI, and so on. The 350 is down on power due to the dished pistons; the SBC has low compression. id="hidden14" class="buttons"> Swap those pistons out for some flat tops, use Fel-Pro 1094 gaskets and keep your compression. Nice work. ....وسعت
@
@1madinjunمنذ 5 سنواتI had this exact car in early 90s with a fully built 5.7 and dual stage NOS 175. Stock 700R4 and gears, tuned ECM (I went thru 6 or 7), ported manifolds, id="hidden15" class="buttons"> throttle body, full custom exhaust. The car made about 480 at the crank. It ran consistent 12.20's. Yes I could have carbureted it, put a bigger NOS shot, done a gear and tranny swap but I liked it how it was. ....وسعت

@ryanwilliams1651منذ 5 سنواتIn 1990 I swapped a 1986 Iroc z drive train, electric harness, gauges, console, Buckets and more into a 1981 Buick regal that was cherry. Match ported id="hidden17" class="buttons"> everything from throttle body to exhaust. custom 3" y-pipe to 1.75 duals. upgraded fuel pump, pressure regulator, injectors, throttle body and "chip" and fabricated my own " cold air intake" before that was a thing. just to mention some of it. A mechanic friend of mine and myself completed the swap in 30 days.. I don't know how much hp or TQ it made, but it sure did move out! By the way i was 20 yrs old, no formal training and didn't have the Internet!!!! I read a lot of Hot rod mags and books from the library.. ....وسعت

@
@ProjectFairmontمنذ 5 سنواتI have to admit I always liked the Gen3 IIROC Z. Being more of a Ford man meant I had an enduring affiliation with Fox body Mustangs. However, I think id="hidden24" class="buttons"> the IROC Z is the best looking Camaro period. It also has an excellent chassis, better than a Fox body. The thing that let it down, was weight. The shitty heavy doors, now the Fox body was no Mercedes in that regard, but those doors at least closed with reasonable precision, and didn’t sag after 5 years. The other thing was the interior, not so much the seats or dash, but the cramped floor layout and crap headliner. Anywho, it still warms my heart when I see a clean Z with original wheels. ....وسعت
