Curious if anyone knows the history of the C5 head being approved for use on a 64 production engine. Many years ago I worked for a Ford rebuilder, only saw C5 heads used on 6 bolt blocks which didn't come out until 65.

I know how it happened but had to swear not give out the details...

Curious as to how much a nice 82' Camaro 4 cylinder costs?

It won't be the price, it will be the finding one.

I found the nicest low mileage 1982 Camaro, however it has the 2.5 Iron Duke/Turbo200 combination. I think it fits in W/SA. Has anyone ever tried this combination before? Thanks! Dyno

I have always wanted a 4 cylinder Camaro. Twice I thought I had a deal to buy one, but they both fell through. But I don't think 1982 4 cyl. Camaro is in the guide.

Fits U, V or W/SA. First year of the TB fuel injection.

The throttle body on it probably isn't much smaller than the one on the 305 and 350 TPI motors.
