Reason to believe Winters cast just under 600 blocks. Engine production eventually totaled 182: 80 "ME", 14 "MG", 54 "ML", and 34 "MM". I have heard there was a high scrap rate but no hard numbers. No matter, plenty of unused blocks around.

Another observation: have never seen and do not know of a CE ZL-1 short or fitted block. The ZL-1 Camaros I know of that had warranty engine failures were either repaired or had complete engine replacement with a converted ME code engine.

At this time, I do not know of a production ZL-1 Camaro built with a Holley #4296 carb. Some of Gibb's 50 were retrofitted; original owner history on one of the last cars built stated it was delivered with the L72/L78 #4346.
