Sorry for the Excitement but afer 14 yrs my Iroc-Z will be coming home.Finally tracked the guy down from a mutual friend and will be picking it up for $1500 Sat morning!!!He said it doesn’t run and thinks it needs a fuel pump but I could care less about that.I Plan to get it running and drive it as is the rest of summer.Next spring it should me a mid 10 sec car and sometime in the next few years and maybe as early as next year,The car WILL receive a COMPLETE frame-off resto and be my kids car when I’m gone.  
May actually try and buy a certain 88 Iroc for a donor:krazyjon:

Im working on getting a new LSx in it along with the th400, when its up and running again it will be for sale next summer

Don’t spend the $$$.I guess I may be going 400SB, Auto, and new rear.Obviously the parts will be top of the line and I thought most of yours were.Tranny and rear were I thought.  
Be back in an hour

Going carb = bad idea for a cruiser.I had a mild ~300hp 350 and it got 8mpg with a Holley on top of it.

LSx is your only option. 😃
