IROC & Z28 with305 TPI (LB9) and five speeds were available from 1985/1992. The quantity made was however low compared to the automatics. So you may have a problem locating one. 305 Carb/TBI five speed cars are a dime a dozen if want to go that route.

Swapping a V8 into V6 car can be done, but it will cost you big bucks.

As far as what years to look for, the later the model, the better. Up to '92 for Z28, and no later than '90 if you've gotta have an IROC-Z.

Here, check this out:

If you need a manual the 88+ had a stronger T5.
And if you want to swap then you would need a tranny, wiring and mounts
