the 350's also came with 3.27 gears. and another tidbit of info... All 5 spd 305 TPI '87 Camaros came with a better cam (25hp advantage) over the 305/autos which jumped the power from 190 up to 215hp
Without spending the time to research, I'm going to risk looking like a bigger moron by asking: didn't all IROC converts' come with the 305, or were those not IROCs?... I remember reading that GM didn't put 350s in the ragtops because the torque was too much for the chassis. I'm not 3rd Gen. guy though. That's the one generation I never gave much attention, for whatever reason.
