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

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 to agree with Joe that finding a suitable body at a somewhat reasonable cost is going to be a little tuff these days. As I remember those cars were pretty "tinny" - meaning light. What does that combination have to weight?
Have a Good Day and a Nice Weekend.

The car would have to weigh 2896 with driver in it's natural class of N/SA. Add or take away 94 pounds to make M or O.

That weight would be doable and 65-66 Mustang hardtops are sometimes not too expensive. Lots out there and easy to get parts for.

Since a 64 1/2 Mustang is called a 1965 model maybe that's why the heads are allowed.

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.

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'd like to see you explain that comment to someone who restores/collects 64 1/2 Mustangs! It would probably be like explaining to a restorer that your AMX or 273 Valiant cane with an Edelbrock intake.
