the 305 was standard pretty much until the end of the run, the 350 had to be special ordered, the block and intake was the same as the vette, the heads may have been too, but I can't remember, teh cam and exhaust were different as tehy always have been

Ok. I am not just saying this because i have one :P but i LOVE my 350 TPI. The guy i bought it off of professionaly installed a Summit, headers, FULL flowmaster cat-back system, and gutted the catalytic converter and now im running over 300hp just from those things. My camaro is an 1989 IROC (SEE BELOW) :P

if its a 350 its gonna be TPI unless of coarse they did somethign there own way with like an intake and carb setup, but basicallly if you get any stock 350 TPI camaro from 87-92 it will be the same as far as stock hp and torque, so ne 350 car you find in those years is good, they made like 50 350s in 86 so watch out for that and also if its a 350 5 speed be very careful and ask the person cause they didnt make those. make sure you actually are looking at a 350 and some ******* just doesnt say its a 350, and it has a manual, beacuse a lot of people just think all irocs are 350's or they will try to scam u. heres some numbers for all third gen engines.

yea, here it is... you could never get a third gen f-body with a 350 and also a stick, you could get a 305 and stick, or a 350 and auto. but never a 350 stick. you could not get a 350 until 86 and they only made 50 i think. so most likely if you want a 350 car just get any 350 from 87-92 because chances are of coarse u wont find an 86 with a 350 unless it had a swap.
