    It is a 350TPI - Tuned Port Injected

    1988 - - The Camaro line was greatly simplified this year, starting with discontinuing the slow-selling one-year-wonder LT model, and dropping the base Z28. All that was left was the base coupe and the IROC-Z, although the IROC-Z was decontented this year to compensate for the loss of the base Z28 - for example, the previously standard aluminum 16" 5-spoke rims were now an option - "base" IROCs now got the old Z28's steel 15" 5-spoke rims (which also became standard on the base coupes). Also the old Z28's ground effects and spoilers were now standard issue on the base coupes. Base models got a new raised spoiler on some models. All engines were fuel-injected this year, the 5.0 L 305 cid V8 gained throttle-body injection—the 2.8 V6, the 305 and 350 TPI engines carried on as before. G92 (performance axle ratio) available only on IROC-Z with 5.0 TPI (LB9). G92 was available on IROC-Z convertible in 1988. All 1988 350 TPI (B2L) IROC-Z's came standard with the 3.27 BW rear end and everything that was included with G92 but did not have the G92 RPO code because it was mandatory; this changed in 1988 however when a 2.77 BW rear was standard and G92 had to be specified to get the 3.27's.

    As long as you are bolting it up to the same size motor that transmission will fit. If they are both small block Chevy motors it will bolt right on. But why would you risk buying an older used transmission that you have no idea if it works well or not. Why don't you just use your money to rebuild the one you've got.

    If your car has a Ttop then its called a 3 0 5.

    If it dosent its called a 350.

    All the names mean is what setup is on the engian.

    A engain is a engain.

    You dont call it a Cam intake

    street language term. 350 is L98 and 305 is 305 with tuned port if you got it.

    is it the 305 or 350 cubic inch?

    Probably a 307!
