its simply an option package with suspension and rear end gearing mostly. My 85 Z was the same car as my 89 RS, both 305s. It just depends on the options for certain years what engine you could get. Secondly, anyone telling you they have a 350 Iroc 5 Speed from the factory is full of it for future reference. They never put those options together.

what NJ said it true. However i do have a 350 5 speed RS. The engine is after market and recently added, but its a SWEET combo if you can find one.

That would be the only way to have such a combination, to do a motor swap.
