- 1988 Iroc-Z LS1/T-56 Swap, I'm gauging interest on possibly selling it. I have it listed here. The tune needs to be gone through so it will idle right off a cold start. 6:43 for those that want to hear the car run instead of my trap lol.

There are two set bolts that are the culprit for the column wobble. My 87 had the same issue, I was about to replace the column, then I saw it. There are no factory lock washers on those set bolt so, over time they loosen and let the column wobble. Bought the little tool it needed, put a lock washer on each and, it works like a champ now. Was a $20 fix.
Nice looking car by the way. It's good to see people taking care of these beauties.
There will always be a special place in my heart for Third gen Camaro's. Glad you enjoy yours as well.
350 tpi or ls1 should of been the smallest v8 day one.
I just got one red 88camaro iroc z 350 5.7 73kmiles garaged for 26 years in Maine it is perfect 🎉
I'm loving this is exactly what I want to do. You did a good job by thinking ahead and saving yourself some headaches. Love this car
Brahhh!! That is nice af. Some people dont realize the effort and work that goes into a project. A lil blood sweat an tears 🤜🏾💥💥💨🏁🏁🚩🏴🏳
Appreciate the kind words, it took me years to get it to this state. 👍
So so nice. Great job. I should of never sold my 89 black IROC-Z. Would love to build one.
Ty sir 👍
man that's a beautiful car great job! I'm thinking of doing a supercharged 400 sbc swb chevy. love the way they look and perform lots of space for it as well
Great video, Im rebuilding my 1987 formula 350, doing a 383 stroker to the 350. Love these 3rd gen. Your car sounds awesome.
beautiful car man. I enjoyed your voice-over lol. I did enjoy the sound of your car more though :)
Really nice car glad to see some more red 88-89 5.7 cars mine is a 89..luv it
Go to 6:43 to hear the car run.
thanks
I waited to get all the info

@@jhonatanalvarez05 then don't go
That was a unreasonably optioned car when it was born.
I feel like the c4 had so much potential that was just wasted but thats typical with most U.S. 80s cars. Anyway, i understand in my own way.
Awesome, Id love to see that when you get it finished up!
I love Iroc-Z's, always wanted to get my hands on a 90 Iroc-Z.
I wish I could all this to my 87 IROCZ. Seeing how much love you put into your's makes me jealous :P
It was definitely a love hate relationship, It took me along time turning the wrench by myself to get it in this condition.
I could imagine. It probably wasn't cheap either with all that you put into it. As much as I'd love to do all this, it would probably be better for me to just get the new Stingray Corvette.
Wow!
Great video beautiful car
Reminds me of my ol red 84' z28 . I need to get another and do a build. But once again great job keep it up
Awesome ride. You did a great job on it. I want to build one like it.
thanks buddy, took a total of 3 years to get all the parts and finish it up.
Nicely done. Sounds great.
thanks man, was along time coming.
This is essentially my dream car. I want to find a 3rd Gen iroc and rebuild it as a project with an LS engine. I'm going to do red as well.
+Steve Lattimer it was a lengthy process, but well worth it !
plan on about 4-5 k for engine and trans(t56 is almost $3000 itself)then you need a fuel system,an exhaust system,electronics to run the LS.you need specific mounts for an ls,you need specific headers for an ls.
you need to find a clean car,then you also need a rear end capable of utilizing more power without grenading.
in 99% of cases its way cheaper buying a car that is already converted,im sticking with sbc gen 1 for now in my 1986 trans am and will save until i can buy a good newer,low mileage ls1-ls2 and a t56.
that is 100 percent wrong my friend you can buy a good t56 at a junkyard all day for 700 and plus i only paid 800 for a 4.8 with harness and the computer and all the injectors and stuff so you can do it cheap you just have to dig and yes a 4.8 is an ls no lip about that ive seen those 4.8s stomp ls1's anyway i did a swap for 3k but i was patient and watched for good deals and went to small town u pull its lol
i can personally guarantee if you lined up 25 guys who did an ls swap you are the lowest priced one out of all of them and chances are you are forgetting several things that would push the budget closer to reality.how much was your ecm flash and harness rewire?.line me up with a junkyard that sells t56 transmissions in canada for under $800 and im there,these deals only seem to happen in remote unique parts of the world that are nowhere near were i live and are more like unicorn farts than actual reality.also imo 4.8s are too weak for low end if you are going through the headache of a complete swap.
yes they make a reasonable amount of torque but so does a tpi,you are doing this to get MORE not the same.
i paid 60 for the flash and i thinned the harness myself..and you are wrong about 4.8s but this is in the usa and in the us i can buy a wrecked tahoe for 1500 all day
Best looking iroc z I seen so far
Thank you, was fun while I had it !
Getting mine back from the paint shop this Saturday so amped mines am '87 iroc. That true dually sounds sick man.
thanks man, I wanted it to piss people off and be gnarly !
+Irocnrollz haha that'll do it for sure, good luck with it brother.
+Abel Santos keep me updated with your build, if you have any question let me know.
Thanks man, Listen to it in person and you'll like it even more.
HOW MUCH ???
Very nice Camaro buddy and your old Mustang, sweet cars indeed
Thanks brother !
very.very nice iroc and clean ls1 transplant
Thanks man, appreciate the kind words
Thanks man !!! It's gone now, onto the next project.
Awesome! I have a 87 Z28 with a 305. I've been looking to swap out my auto trans for a manual, but money is holding me back, maybe one day.
hey awesome job! very nice and sick wicked looking 3rd gen! love it!
Paint the eyelids black like an IROC, you would be a true sleeper!!
Nice car
The c4s are only sleepers to those sho know...... Haha
Looks good Sir, wish I owned one 👍
I wanna do the exact same thing, red 3rd gen with an LS1 and manual trans. Beautiful car!
+Jesse Begley Thanks brother !
Already sold it, thanks for the inquiry though !
Clean set up
Sweet ride man, in the process of lq4 swapping my 88😂
Devon Strubert sweet man !
Could I ask you quick if you recall what motor mounts did you go with?? And what company are those headers??
Devon Strubert i used the BMR conversion mounts, for headers i used the conversion headers from hawks motorsports. They fit great !
very nice job on an awesome car, sounds great.
Thanks buddy, I really do miss it.
Hope ya kept it. I regret selling my 88 305 tbi 5speed iroc to this day.
You mean TPI. I thought the 88's were tuned port not throttle body?? Correct me if I am wrong.
beautiful 3rd gen man!
thanks brother !
Very nice and clean. Looks like it belongs in that car. Way better than a 4th gen
Awesome project, looks great.
Very nice wish my iroc was setup like that
Nice solid car. Make sure to check where the steering box bolts to the frame. The metal will stress crack around the bolts. I've had three of these cars and had to repair each one.
cjones29hd didnt even think of that, thanks bud !
Look to the outside of the frame too.
That is so nice! Great to see the T56 I see many with the automatics. Love the stock exterior--leave it that way!
nice, looks like a lot of fun
Thanks man, it was !!
That car is a beast! Lol! She sounds mean as hell.
goldens98 thanks brother !
I wraped my gas lines next to the driver side collector in Header wrap, never had a issue with them.
it sounds and looks awsome
Nice car. Great built
bad ass car dude, enjoy in good health.
Thanks buddy !
The Truck heads are Stage 2.5 5.3 Truck heads that flow around 310cfm @.600 Lift, this was a Head/cam Package deal I got from Texas Speed Performance.
Bad ass car man. I love it. Sounds mean.
I just sold it man, but I bought a 1988 Firebird Formula, Plan on doing a 408 Stroker Motor, possibly Turbo.
bro i had i irock in red too but with t-tops and i still want one more cause i lov them maros
very nice!!! has a great sound to it.
That was a nice Camaro. Good job bro. That's what I want to do to my 86.
Thanks man, it was alongggggg project, but turned out pretty nice.
Awesome swap, beautiful running engine too! The only thing... no T-tops.. /: I hope to get around to having a nice LS1 swap like this in my 86 z/28 soon.
save up 7-10 grand and go to it
clean swap!
Thanks bud
I saw this comment somewhere...maybe BaT...
Every third gen. Camaro deserves an LS swap.
Sold it already bud, thanks for the interest.
Lovely.. nice job man
Best looking sports coupe of all time. Period.
Nice car man
Thanks Richard !
beautiful car! though I have to say all that money spent, and $60 bucks for new hood struts would keep you from using a stick to hold the hood open lol
Go figure 🤣
Exactly what I was thinking!!!!
Nice buddy!
Sounds real good.
dave runner thanks dave !
Dude that car sounds awesome just got a real nice lumpy idle I love that Lopey idle but that dude that car does mean man it's got a nice heart beat!!!🤤😍❤
Thanks man, this is definitely one of those cars that "Got away".
Love it!
Car is so beautiful. I have a v6 right now in mine looking to swap mine. Hopefully you could give me some tips and tricks for my build.
you're car is freakin sweet!
Put about a cup of dawny fabric softener in the radiator to help keep it run cool
Sounds real good
this thing is a beaut! very nice
You just need to buy the conversion mounts for the LS1 to fit in the stock K-Member, I notched it to keep the stock fourth gen AC Compressor.
Not a fan of red but God damn that camaro is clean af.
personally hate puke green with a passion but i dont add this detail into youtube
comments,its irrelevant and my own opinion.red is just about the best color for
third gens available.
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 red and black 🤌
I would always help the hatch motor pull the hatch down or you'll have to rebuild it again in a couple months. Its hard on them if you don't help them down
ill be making a video on my 1990 build soon. started with nothing but its coming along
awesome man, can't wait to see it
+Irocnrollz yea its a little rough now but i hope to have the motor in by the end of winter
nice edc 12 gauge vid lmao
71sc502 times are tough gotta protect yourself. still need to make a camaro video haha
its always nice to dream,how are you making out?i try to not verbalize my dreams until i can bring them into fruition
How difficult is the swap? I have an 87 with a LT1 and want to swap a motor from the 2005-2006 GTO.
Freakin awesome
Was there any clearance issues with the oil pan hitting the bottom or sides of the motor yolk support??? I'm looking to do an LS3 swap from golenengineservice into my '85 IROC.
Clean bro really nice car...
all I have to say is WOW!!!!
Thanks man !
Love the car
I bought the car from Irocnrollz, worth every penny I spent for. Its a dream ride to drive.
Looks good my firebird mint as well but needs a ls1 it has a v6 which sucks ass it just died yesterday which is good now I have a excuse to put it in now lol
Yep definitely where the needle on the gas gauge usually is haha
Man!! I want one of those so bad!!!
Dude, I kick myself in the ass for selling the car !
+Irocnrollz Thats a bad feeling, i have a 4th gen Im working with, 98 z28 m6 ttop, Im never selling it oh and red like yours with oem zr1s
Nice, i also had a 98Z-28 Black M6 T-Top car. its what pushed me to do a LS Swap on this car.
+Irocnrollz cool man , it's love, I like them all just a little more attached to the LS
love the front ends on these cars, similar to the ss monte carlo, they always were slow...but not this one
beautiful car, i want to LS swap 1 of my 3rd gens.
Thanks ! go for it, LS have came down in price a bunch since I swapped mine in.
what is the inches you took out for the AC compresser bc im going to do the same exact thing with my 87 IROC-Z
What electrical work was necessary for the swap, i have been looking to do the exact same swap. Im just a high-school kid so any budget suggestions or tips and pointers would be awesome
Now it got power
What did you do with your old heater core set up & what type of crossmember do u have
ALL IN ALL, THAT 3RD GEN IS BADASS! IV ALWAYS WANTED 1!!!!!!!!!
D.j. B thanks buddy, i apperciate that. Was a long road for sure !
That camaro's nice! I'm buying an LS1 with wiring harness and computer attached, what will I need to do to wire it up to my 89 Iroc? did the tranny bolt right up?
Does the exhaust rattle at all? Against the sway bar when your go over speed bumos and such? It sounds beautiful dude!!
what type of wire harness do you have on this set up? standalone ? how did you get factory stuff to work
love it.
love the swap! I have a question, how did you get the factory A/C to work with the new LS compressor? What did you have to do?
Hay Steven how are you? This is john from Iroc z parts, well. When u came over to me for the Colume, I seen your car at carlos. And feel in love with it, lol. So I had to buy it, so it's in good hands. I just have to many now and she is wicked loud. Lol, just so glad I got it from a officer, that bailed me out of a ticket, my neighbors just hate me now, my wife don't like it ether, oh well, dinner and a movie for her I guess. But any ways wanted to let u know I now have It and love it, and in good hands as u know I am a Iroc z crave nut & now own over 10 of them to date, buying another one coming up soon!
John
Iroc z parts and supplies
Houston tx....
John g Thats awesome man ! Take care of her, Post up some videos if you get the chance ! Steven
nice,good score.
I bought this from you john then sold to a younger guy around dallas a few years back but I'm interested in buying it back.
Clean!
Why add the 5.7 badging when it was originally a 305? Nice build.
Thanks bud.
