So I picked up this 87 iroc stick for 700 bucks on Sunday. It had been sitting for 2 years on a trailer with a blown 383, I got the complete blown motor and a 80-85 350 with a cam and flat top pistons. I also got a newish clutch. I think I'm going to just put a stock 305 TPI in and then port it and put some rocker arms on later.
87 IROC-Z 5spd resrto-mod.

Good luck on it! Seeing that hand brake in the interior makes me wonder how well a Camaro console would fit in my Regal... :idea:

About like this lol.
It fits ok but you need to modify it at the point where it meets the dash.
Looks like a fun project and sorry for the hijack!
I think the consoles out of the 2nd gen firebirds and camaros look much better than the third gens when it comes to swapping hem into g bodies. I think the third gens are a little flimsy and tend to crack around the bolt holes and when you are sliding around in your seat, the harsh angles are no good on the elbows.

I have one and I installed the f body hand brake...I have standard and I thought at my age 4 pedals would be confusing so I removed the parking brake..
To hell with that 305 TPI, just rebuild that 383 and run that turd into the ground! I never liked the third gens, they didn't feel like a camaro to me. for 700 bucks you can't beat it, sh*t the trans alone is probably worth that to the right person.....5 speed gbody?
I have been thinking about just taking the trans and clutch assembley and throwing it in my 79 LT1 cutty just cuz my 700r4 in it just lost 3-4 clutch packs. I was going to rebuild it but I had the old th350 sitting around so I just popped that baby back in to keep the cutty rolln. I figured I can sell the th350 with it running in my car pretty easily, and drop it out for the seller. Then take the money from the sale and get a good rebuild kit and strengthen up the weak points. But I used to have a 87 iroc I got as a basket case just like this one. That one ended up with a 89 350 TPI and 700r4 all the guts and suspension from the 89. I always kicked myself for selling it so I figured I make this one right to its former glory and cruise it.
before you use the transmission make sure it has clean oil and lay it on it's side for a while so the roller bearing in-between the input and output shafts gets lubricated
So I picked up a 86 Trans am 5.0 TPI with 90k miles the other day. For a complete motor, stand and engine hoist it cost me 280$. Not too bad, I'm at 980$ total for the project and I gave myself 1500$ total budget for the car and what it takes to get it looking and running good. Still need carpet, dash pad and to redo the door panels.
