i was umder the impression they made 311 L89 CAMAROS...did they also make the same amount of Chevelles?? I thought the number was a lot less???

You could be correct. I was told it was around that number so I put in the add approximately but if you have the correct amount I would love to know the answer to it.

I think?? the Chevelle number is a little over 400...including 4spd and auto.

Is your block casted early like this one is too by any chance or is it a little tighter?
