If you have a 1990 Z28 its a TPI engine, not a TBI. Yes its a roller cam.

Yes it's a roller cam, if it's center bolt valve covers, it's roller (just in case someone's swapped it before you got the car). A roller cam is a superior camshaft, the price is higher for them but it about balances out because you can reuse your factory lifters.

The LT1 cam swap is popular with the TBI cars. It'll require some prom tuning so be sure to do some homework before you re cam the car.

Why pull apart a 305 running 5 speed car to put the small motor in another vehicle? I would just spring for a 350, roller or flat tappet either way and build that (preferably flat tappet, you can make good power cheaper). What are you planning to swap into and what're you doing with the Iroc?

I may be interested in the T5 swap, where do you live? I'de just put a larger roller cam in the car with a decent flowing set of heads (TBI heads suck without port and polish work).
