Moving up in the world !!!

Well today I purchased a LB9 motor for my car, because my V6 blew a head gasket. The motor has 187,000 miles, so that gives me all winter to rebuild it I found it in a junkyard, and the engine was still in the Iroc. All thats missing is the computer, I checked the oil for antifreese and smelled it for any burnt smell, and since all those turned up negative and it was actually holding oil (meaning there wasnt a hole in the side of the block ) I purchased it.
I got:
LB9 (305 TPi)
700R4 (Automatic 4-Speed)
All the wiring
Radiator (Aluminium)
Fans (Dual Setup)
And every single hose thats connected to anything above

And in case you were wondering, its the second fastest engine that was offered in the 3rd gen F-Bodies (fastest being the L98 - 350 TPi).

87 IROC-Z A4 LB9 V8 9.3:1 5.0 (305) 190@4000HP 295@3200TQ TPI

Awesome, TPI is my favorite induction system on the 3rd gen Camaro's but just so you know. 305 TPI was the second fastest for the 3rd gen camaro's but third fastest for the third gen firebird/trans am's (lets not forget the TTA)

Ahh yes, I really dont count that, because that was offered in one year, and in one model, but you are right, TTA took the cake for the fastest engine in a 3rd gen.

Then again, I could rephrase: LB9 was the second fastest V8
