I am looking at this 91 rs camaro it is an 5.o automatic, is there much you can do with that motor? Is it worth having?

Also what is the hp on this? And one more question what tranny does this have? is it the 700r4?

Automatic is the 700r4, as for what you can do with the motor, just follow the link...

[camaromaniac]

all rs are either v6 or 305 tbi. i've heard different things about tbi system: that its terrible and i heard that its very advanced, just takes a lot to reach its potential. but your prolly better off to just drop a lt1/ls1

And will an lt1 or an ls1 line up? with out haveing to move motor mounts? And will it hook to the 700r4.

[camaromaniac]

an lt1 will,ls1 requiers new motor mounts. but you could drop in a 383 or something along those lines

[cuda_dude]

im pretty sure it will do both (mounts and tranny)

[camaromaniac]

and i dont think they will hook up to a 700r4

don't swap the motor, you got it for a play car, so play with it. ECU chips can be found at www.tbichips.com thirdgen.org also has a very good TBI section on it's board. You can squeeze 400hp out of a 305 without any n2o or forced induction. The stock TBI 305's downfall is a terrible head design and very weak cam. A popular cam put in the TBI motors is the LT1 cam. There's various routes you can go with heads. Brodix just came out with a nice affordable set of aluminum heads called the IK200. I have a set myself. There's also Vortec heads, World Products Torquer 305 heads, or you could even go with a set of re-worked 305 TPI heads. Holley makes a nice replacement TBI unit that is 670cfm. A lot of ppl also use the rochester TBI unit from the 454 suburbans.
