need some advice on rebuilding a 87 iroc .......top to bottom.....with a 350 + hp motor......any thought and ideas of what kind of trouble i might run into doing this........will any small block drop right into it......and how good is the factory 5 speed .......are 410 gears to small.....any ideas on getting tracktion......im wanting to go carberated but like the idea of injection.......some pro's and con's would help in that....

thanks

Fuel injection should help low and midrange torque, but HP peak usually stays close to the same as a carb, but this only assuming the mixture calibration is correct on your carb. Which takes time and skill and a way to judge your mixtures on, plug reading is very sketchy, especially for anything other than WOT. If you have to go buy a whole carb up front this may be more $$$ than you think but probably still not as expensive as a fuel injection setup. Both situations could be more user friendly, depending on the user! Some people are scared to death of carburetors, some are scared to death of electronics, computers, and wiring, so take your pick. But more than likely the fuel injection will be substantially more money, but fuel economy is also a added benefit, but I doubt this is of much concern with your high-revving engine 327.

It has been my experience that the t-5 transmission is ok for stock cars, But don't like alot of H.P. or torque. If I was to recommend a transmission it would be the t-56. To find a used one get on E-bay. They were used in the 93 and newer f-body's and corvettes.

Good luck
