87 L98/auto was rated at 225hp....

Yeah, i totaly understand that, what im trying to do is figure out of the very few "conversions" that I come across on-line weather it be on ebay or hemmings etc. be able to figure out which part was converted by judging by whatever info they give you in the ad


for example, lets say i come across an 1987/88 IRoc like im looking for and I see it says 350TPI 5-speed, and you do see them rarely and the ad has a VIN # and the eigth didget is an "F" (which signifies its was built origionaly from the factory with a 305 TPI) well right there I will know that the Motor has been replaced which I would preffer over a car coming with a "8" motor 350 TPI and someone cutting up the floor to put a 5-speed ya know...?

Thanks for all your guys help

Im looking into a 3rd Gen beater and my friend recently turned me onto this site and its good to know there are still guys close by with parts and insight
