couple of questions
Are the Iroc-z and z28 the same? On my door it says Iroc-z and on the dash say z-28 so i was wondering. I also want to put a manual trans in it. What is everything i will need. Also how do i tell if it is a 305 or 350? 305 is whats suspose to be in it but i was told that if it has center bolt valve cover it was a 350. If it is a 305 do they run as good as the 350. I just started to mess with chevys so bare with me. I also have a mild 350 in s10

i think one of the two was replaced sometime. i have never seen a car that had mixed badges.
i think the valve covers can be center bolt for either a 305 or 350. and i don't know a quick way to tell the size. if the engine is a tpi i think you can tell by the throttle body size and the fuel injector jets... but if the previous owner has mixed and matched iroc and z-28 parts, they may have altered these as well. and no... the 305 is not as strong as the 350 by 50 to 70HP depending on year.
if your s-10 is a manual then you have everything you need to make the camaro a manual trans car. transdapt and advanced adaptors sell kits to put an s-10 tranny behind your motor. since these are quite popular in s-10's i guess the s-10 tranny is strong enough to handle it. GM hasnt put a manual behind a 350 in a camaro (at least 3rd gen) so i dont know if they made them strong enough for that application. the t-5s that came behind the 305's are getting hard to find too. especially here in the southeast. all the ones i found online were in texas and california.

the badge on the passanger side dash should say iroc-28 the door decalscan get put on by anybody. there is nothing visually distinguishable from the 305 to the 350.for the engine check the console compartment for a code for a 305 it will say LB9 with an enige code F ,or L03 with an engine code E for the 350 it will say B2l/L98 with an engine code 8. the 350 definatley has more ***** than the 305 but with the manually it tendsto be quicker. i am putting in a manual in my 350 iroc and all you need is a t-, 5 or t-56 tranny clutch, driveshaft, flywheel and a manual shifter boot plate. also all the linkage and the hardware.
