1990 IROC project
I've been bracket racing and running s/st since the early 80's and watching s and ss thinking I'll never be able to own one of those. Well I found this Camaro and decided I'm gonna try to build a stocker. Today I went and loaded it up and brought it home. I don't know if it has a 350 or 305 but I'll build whatever it is. I'm open to any suggestions you guys have. when I can I'll post some pics.

Re: 1990 IROC project
Mike,
the 3rd is a good package with plenty of combination options. Will you build it as a tuned port engine?

Re: 1990 IROC project
Welcome, you took a similar route that I did before class racing. Good choice of car too, if it's a 350 it will be a natural I class or the 305 will put it as a natural K. The 305 are a little more attractive right now I believe as the 350 was hit with 4 up this past season causing us to add 50 more pounds.
Don't know what your budget is but being in Texas I would have to recommend you speak to J Allen Sherman for your power at Trumble racing engines. He's a member on the board and has turned out some really fast stocker motors. Good luck.

Re: 1990 IROC project
Cooter, I'm kinda hoping it's a 305. The index looked a little softer to me. And you're the second person to recommend J Allen Sherman.

Re: 1990 IROC project
I'm thinking of breaking out the flat good and building me a 305 too! Looking forward to seeing some pics and by all means don't be afraid to ask for advice in the tech section, lots of knowledge on this board.

Re: 1990 IROC project
Hey Cooter, what year is your car? What gear are you running with the 350?

Re: 1990 IROC project
My car is ran as a 91-92 with 4.88 gear. Most everyone with fuel injection that I'm aware of runs the 4.88, guys running carburetor combos use the 5.13

Re: 1990 IROC project
Thanks for the compliments cooter, mike feel free to contact me on my cell anytime, 225-717-1461 or my shop number 713-477-4430, I've personally race a 305 1986 camaro in stock in the late 90's to 2000's and ran good with it and Shane Burkett is a customer of mine and has an extremely fast TPI 350 combination that we did for him, so either route you choose we can fill the need.
