- Just a random update video of my 1985 Iroc-Z 3rd gen Camaro build. Walk around and update on some of the things I've got accomplished this summer and things I have planned for upcoming videos this off season. LS3/T56 swapped third gen powered by fitech ultimate LS stand alone system.

just got my 87 iroc 💪🏼😈 same color as yours bro ! The only 2 dislikes are dudes that got gapped by a 3rd gen 💨💨💨
Truth haha. Thanks for watching man. Congrats on the Iroc-Z.
Hey! Fellow Minnesota third gen owner here, had to subscribe!
Hey thanks for the local support! You close to the city's.
@@Brandon-LSX Hutchinson bout an HR west , there's a car meet in Hutchinson this Sunday actually the 28th
Just found the channel! Great content! Fellow Minnesotan here i have a 89 Camaro Rs with a 350 swap nothing crazy just a fun cruiser have had it 12 years now!
Thanks always cool to find local 3rd owners.
Great job!! Keep the videos coming 👍🏼
Thanks Man I've got some cool ones planned this winter.
Nice job, looks sweet.
I have an 85 i-roc with all spohn suspension QA1 coilovers all 4.
Still running TPI with mods on a mild 350.
Nice man I bet it handles great. 👌
Love your car bro! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks dude. Definitely will.
Thanks for starting it up for us. Beautiful car tho…no cap
Hopefully I will be starting on mine soon. 85 IROC Z. Gotta go bumper to bumper so its gonna be a process.
Good stuff Man. There such a fun platform and awesome car to work on.
@@Brandon-LSX That they are. You did a great job on yours. She's a beaut!
I’m working on my 1983 camaro z28. I completely removed everything to the shell of the car. Painted the whole under body black. Throwing in a lm7 5.3 LS with a built th350. 3200 stall converter. Ford 9 in rear end 4.11 gears Detroit locker. Just recently ordered a complete umi suspension system. K member, torque arm, control arms etc.... and a complete Viking coil over kit. 12 point roll cage. I’m so excited to get it done before spring.
Nice Man sounds like its going to be a strong build. Its definitely alot of work but totally worth it in the end. I forsee plans for a turbo in your future 😁
good video man, i havent got much done on my firebird but i did order a new intake for it just need the fuel rails!
Got a 1987 Firebird project. Nice build 👌
Thanks Man. I love the Firebirds to I almost built one but couldn't find a clean one by me.
super sick build! It's SOO CLEAN. You should definitely do a dash restoration. I filled my cracks and then vinyl wrapped it.
I was actually thinking about doing that once I get all the performance stuff handled.
Awesome build
Thanks Man.
Still have my dad’s TPI 85’ Z he bought new. Pulled and sold engine and trans. LSX is in the works.
That's awesome man. A one owner 3rd gen is super rare!
Good job on the car man. I have a 89 and will do a video as well soon.
Thanks the cool part about videos is you have something to look back on to see the progress you've made.
@@Brandon-LSX Nice car man! Mines a 1990 RS. Started as a3.1, then a warmed over 350, and now completing the Dart based 421 !
Nice that 421 is going to be fun!
Nice job you did with the iroc
Thats exactly what I'm working on
Might need some tips from you
Thanks. I'll help out in anyway I can.
I'd love to swap my 89' Camaro RS. But, I've got a 70' Firebird to build. Gorgeous IROC 🤘💪
Thanks man. That 70s firebird will be sweet.
@@Brandon-LSX she just needs interior and Suspension Rebuild
I am putting in some 4.56 rear end gears with a 6speed and a 383. Should be fun next season. I have a 1991 firebird formula. Only atock thing left is the k member. Your car is on of the best 3rd gens I've seen. Glad to see you are representing mn. I live in st. Paul.
Thanks man I appreciate it. Those gears are going to be fun. My next upgrade will be a 9inch or S60 with 4:10s. I'm leaning more towards the 9inch though. I've got a local FB page called Minnesota F-bodys. Maybe we can cruise next season.
@@Brandon-LSX for sure man. Im always down to cruise with a fellow 3rd gener. Especially one as good looking as yours. It will make mine look bad. I put all my money in go fast stop fast. You name it i have it done. Only about 30000 grand. Im running a megasquirted 12.5 to 1 compression 383 with afr heads and dart shp block. Fully roller and balanced. I have the z06 c5 corvette front brakes with 14 inch rotors. You will love the brake upgrade. I can bounce friends heads off the dashpad when stopping. Got to love a 3100lb car a 500 horses and 500 torque with ttops.
Same here man always down to cruise. Performance is more important than looks for me. I've been wanting to get some 3rd gen meets going for MN. I've got a group of 3rd gen guys I've met this year that are down to.
@@Brandon-LSX well then all we have to do is wait for winter to get done and then the fun starts. I would be down to cruise with any 3rd geners. Mine has been a 18 yr project. End goal is procharger f1x. Hopefully 1000hp.
Hi. Recently discovered your channel and I'm interested in an LS3 swap in my 3rd gen. Besides the UMI K-member and A-arm kit, what did you do to reinforce the chassis to handle the increased torque?
Nice build👌. I have a 91 camaro project and im trying to figure out a way to do a ratchet shifter with a stock look any suggestions
Thanks man. When this car was a automatic I was running a B&M ratcheting shifter. It bolted right in the stock position with a stock shifter plate. Only way you could tell was by the metal handle.
Im in highschool and have wanted to do a third gen build forever. I want to do something completely different and go all out no matter how long it takes. I’ve been looking at either a ls3, l-92 or the ls2 from a Pontiac g8 to swap
All those engines are great picks man. The L92 would be best bang for the buck. Would just need a different oil pan. They make like 405hp stock. Add a cam and your in business.
You better be making not high school money if you're looking at those engines
🌹
i have a white iroc-z that’s im looking to swap and purchase the k member that u have too .. i wanna kno what mounts u used to bolt the motor to the k member and is that the ls kmember from UMI or the sbc K member
I'm running the full UMI crossmember for LS. Using the umi adjustable mounts with factory LS1 engine mounts.
Im working on superchargeing my 3.8 1999 firebird
That should be fun those 3.8s are durable engines.
Where in Minnesota are you? I've been dreaming of a build like this one. I need to hit you up when I go Iroc shopping!
I'm just north of Minneapolis. If your local check out my FB group Minnesota Fbodys
@@Brandon-LSX Sweet i'm down in Farmington but I'll check out the facebook group!
I will suggest a 4th gen brake booster to go with the 4th gen master cylinder. The distance between the pushrod in boosters is different. There will be a gap with 3rd gen booster and 4th gen master cylinder. I did the swap on my 88 IROC. Hawks motorsports has used parts in excellent condition, if you are looking to save money.
I was definitely thinking about that. That's what I was reading on the 3rd gen forums. I'll probably get one coming thanks for the heads up.
@@Brandon-LSX even if you weren't doing the caliper & rotor upgrade it makes a difference. I also swapped out the factory prop valve spring to change the brake bias, huge difference! Best $5 mod for a 3rd gen.
I've got the adjustable wilwood prop valve to install. Pretty stoked to see how much better it is than stock.
Agree I did the 4th gen booster+master and adjustable wilwood valve, makes a HUGE difference with all 3👍
@@jesseh9174 I've got the 4th gen booster to go with upgrade. I'm in the process of making the lines for the wildwood prop valve. I've never been good at flaring brakes line though lol.
What size injectors are you running
46 lbs injectors.
where did you get those headligts?
By a company called Octane lighting.
@@Brandon-LSX ok👍 i want them on my 83 camaro
Have you weighed the car?
I plan on doing it this summer. My estimate is high 2950-3050
Wow that’s a nice weight if you can get it in the 2900’s
My camaro? My camaro is a bitchin camaro
I kin dig that 👌
Iroc LSX It’s a reference to an old song about Camaros
Oh gotcha.👌
Hey really enjoy your videos keep them coming. If you have a chance visit my channel and check out my 1987 Firebird LS1/T56👍
Thanks man. I'll go check it out right now.
Iroc LSX are you happy with your LUK LS7 clutch? Looking at that one or the Tick Performances LS7 (about $150 more)
I'm happy with it so far can't complain. The prices have definitely went up it seems I picked this kit up for 280 bucks. It holds decent power and feels like factory. The only downside is the flywheel is extremely heavy. I'm sure I'm losing some hp from the weight.
Iroc LSX , thanks! I put a cheap clutch in mine and have some rattling going on. Found your set up on Amazon for $250. Only other option I see (for a stock style) is the Tick but, it’s $550
