IROC didnt come out untill 85. So yours is just a Z28. And the 350 wasnt put into camaros untill 87. Thus, you have a 1982 Camaro Z28 305

Ok, for the rear, it is a 3.23 if it is a manual, and a 2.73 if it is an auto with the LG4 4bb engine, or a 2.93 or 3.23 with the TBI LU5 engine. The engine casting number is on the rear of the engine on top of where the engine bolts up to the transmission on the drivers side. Will look like this:



Once you find the numbers, use this list to find out what it is:

And unless someone changed them, yes you do have hydraulic lifters.
