Our IROC-Z Camaro Gets New Summit Racing Suspension & Exhaust, Cooling by U.S. Radiator

With the accessory drive system installed on our Edelbrock small block, the engine mounted to the cradle, and the American Powertrain supplied TKX 5-Speed manual transmission mated to the engine, it was time to raise the new drivetrain into the belly of our 1987 IROC-Z Camaro. We also tackled our Summit Racing supplied suspension with components from BMR, QA1 and Koni, and then mocked up our new 3-inch exhaust system.
But if you think we’re finished, think again! Next up was figuring out the wiring, vacuum lines, hooking up the clutch pedal assembly to the transmission, etc. And then, there’s the new cooling system. U.S. Radiator came to our aid by providing us with a beautiful brass copper unit that’s far more efficient than the stocker, and to top it off, Phillip Cochran, the head honcho at U.S. Radiator paid us a visit, as did Trent Goodwin from Edelbrock, to make sure that everything fit perfectly!

Loving this series! It sure brings back memories. I drove a blue '85 non-IROC with a 305/700R4 from 1992-2002. I put 100k on it, drove it year around in Chicago for those ten years. The original owner factory ordered the build, had heavy duty cooling, suspension (F41), front and rear discs, LSD rear end, power everything, map lights, weird manual trip meter/calendar in the overhead console. But looked plain Jane on the outside. One hell of a car.

When it developed a rod knock I sold it to my neighbor and he absolutely ruined it with purple glitter paint, 13 inch gold rims that stuck way out and a velvet interior. I get the lowrider phase was hot back then but I regretted selling it to him after I saw what he did to it. Still pisses me off to this day when I think about it lol.

Just listened to the latest podcast-episode of this series, where you asked us the viewers & listeners what we want to see. It would be cool to make things more instructional. More info on the engine-swap, wiring and more how-to and going further into detail on this build For instance, I'd want to swap out the T5 in my 87 305tpi Iroc if (and when) the t5 says byebye, to a tkx from American Powertrain. I want to know how the installation and if there were any issues with it before going in. I've never swapped am engine, nor a transmission. Just basic maintainance and "playing" with new and improved parts. I'd love to see something that'd make it more of a learning-experience is what I'm saying. Otherwise, I think people are having a ball. Thanks.

Agreed. These aren't Ferraris where any sort of modification is considered to be a sacrilege - Chevrolet built hundreds of thousands of these cars, and inexpensive modifications were part of the appeal to these vehicles. There are unmolested original examples out there for those who want these, and modifying one of thousands of these cars isn't going to bring about Carmageddon. Aside from motivating these vehicles, these smog-choked remnants of the malaise era are not particularly loved among enthusiasts. Upgrading the engine to a more potent version isn't going to scare off buyers who know what they're getting.

Spohn Control Arms, QA1 single adjustable shocks, QA1 Caster Camber plates, and a 1LE 36mm front sway bar on the front. On the rear, SW Race Cars adjustable torque arm, adjustable panhard bar, panhard bar brace, Spohn adjustable lower control arms, and a 25mm rear sway bar. This car has been in the family since 1985 as my parents purchased it for me when I was 21. Thanks in advance!

This is a malaise era small block getting replaced, and it's badly knocking at that. For the money it would cost them to fix the rod-knock and rebuild it back to factory specs, it's still going to be just a 245 hp 350. Hardly a solid value. That replacement 350 is going to deliver a lot more power and torque for the same money. That original 350, besides being well worn and tired, is not particularly unique or loved among enthusiasts. It's best showing was around 250 hp in the C4 Corvette. Hardly a powerplant that any real enthusiast is going to mourn.
