1987 IROC-Z
Just picked this up yesterday:
1987 IROC-Z 62,400 miles LB9, T5, G92 Hardtop Koni yellows UMI adj camber plates Adj panhard bar LS1 front/rear brakes Slotted front rotors !A/C !Smog pump New: Alternator Water pump Power steering pump Radiator + hoses 180* Thermostat Dual electric fans (on manual switch) Battery Mech. Fuel Pump Accel distributor Crane iginition box I'm the third owner of this car. The original owner put about 40,000 miles on the car and then let it sit under a tree in Atco for about 15 years. The second owner got the car in 2008 and put in racing seats, G-force 5 point harness, an Autopower 4 point harness support cage, and took out the rear seats. He also put on the high-rise spoiler, painted the car, did the brakes and suspension work and swapped on a Holley 600cfm carb and RPM Performer intake manifold. It came with the original TPI with new injectors and a new distributor, cap and rotor. The original 9 bolt rear was professionally rebuilt with 3.70s gears and new posi cones. The quick ratio steering box was also rebuilt along with new ball joints, inner/outer tie rod ends, center link and idler arm. I plan to sell the seats and put in power seats from a 91 GTA. I'm debating removal of the harness bar, but it will stay for now. The only issue I need to resolve is the fuel pump. He put a Holley pump right in front of the rear axle and it cut out on me three times on the parkway driving home yesterday. The stock pump is still in the tank so I'll be hooking that back up and putting the Mallory 4309 AFPR on the carb. Oh and the e-brake doesn't work, so I'll be fixing that. Plus the car needs to be inspected... :facepalm: http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicle...jpg?1329243325 http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicle...jpg?1329243328 http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicle...jpg?1329243331 http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicle...jpg?1329243336 http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicle...jpg?1329243338 http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicle...jpg?1329243341 http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicle...jpg?1329243344 http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicle...jpg?1329243348 http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicle...jpg?1329243350 And don't forget to buy my GTA. ~Matt |
You went for it! Cool.
Post up in the tech section about the fuel stuff. Since it's carbed you can probably just put a mechanical fuel pump on it. It's missing the filter between the pump and carb (from what I can see). And if it's a Holley Red/Blue/Black pump out back it needs a canister filter too. Why inspection? QQ that bitch. |
Freshen it up under the hood and you are set. The exterior and interior both look mint. I would keep the seats the way they are. Sweet purchase...

Thats a nifty ac/delete setup he was running...lol. Looks like the making of a killer, killer auto x'er.

I agree on the A/C delete. I think it's dryer hose or something. I will eventually get an actual A/C delete box. |

Well chalk up another one. I read about the swaps on thirdgen about fuel injection to carbs and the Mallory AFPR solves the issue with the stock in tank pump. The stock pump for TPI puts out double what the carb needs. The AFPR knocks down the pressure. I'd like to go that route.

If that has a mechanical pump option on the block I have a pump you can have for free.

hey check this **** out, the car HAS a mechanical pump, you can see it on the block in the pics! how many fuel pumps does this car have, lol.... what is the 8th digit of the vin? I see z28 emblems, shouldn't an iroc have iroc emblems? Matt are you sure that its not a factory carbed car? I dont see fuel lines on the driverside, which it would have if it was a TPI car. There may be no intank pump

I think the IROC rocker badges started in 88? |
correct, the z28 name was dropped in 88 and it just became an iroc-z

1320B4U: he said it's a Holley 600cfm, but I haven't confirmed via part # yet. This thread shows a little about the Mallory AFPR for a TBI to carb swap: http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/ca...questions.html I'm sure TPI has an even higher psi pump. |
