Camaro WHITE BOOK reports 1553 LS-3 Camaros were built in 1971 and 970 built in 1972.......the LAST year for Big Block Camaros.........NO accurate info on how many were 4spd and how many were Turbo 400.

L-78 375 / 396? or one of the lower HP 396's?

[akcamaro]

nastyz28.com has how many were made with each individual option listed, but with combinations of options it is unknown. you should first find out which big block you have; L78, L34, or LS3. just to ballbark it with 120,000 camaros in 70 and 2400 of those being 396 and half of those being 4speeds your around 1 in every 100. and these figures are very ballbark because all the L78s came 4speed.

..."and these figures are very ballbark because all the L78s came 4speed."

I think Mr.Lillard might have something to say about that.

[Fhakya]

uh oh...not this topic again.

[Xplantdad]

Mark, Did you get something in the mail?

[Charley Lillard]

I'll still bet 5K they made at least one L78 auto...

[Mr70]

Well Hello Mr.Lillard.

Ok what would be the basis for "no auto" in an L-78? ZL-1's and L-72's had them already in '69. Clearly the TH tranny was stout enough to handle the power, and of note is the fact that automatics were phased in for the Z-28 in 70 also.
