A 1992 B4C with 5.7tpi and a STICK?

It says 589 '92 B4C's were produced, but how many with a 350 and a 5-speed?

 

That would probably be the rarest Third Gen ever since there were never any produced from the factory with a manual.

Every 350 TPI was an Auto.

 

lol...I knew it was rare! There's a B4C for sale on autotrader.com, says it has a 350 and stick. I asked the question before I ran the VIN#, turns out it's the LB9.

 

I knew it was gonna be something like that.

 

I guess most people's logic is just to assume it's a 350 and hope they run into an uninformed buyer.

 

yup!!

 

I own a 1992 B4C/1LE with the 5.7L with automatic, I realize 589 built but can't find the breakdown in numbers between the 5.7L auto and 5.0 L 5 speed. The B4C with a 305 and 5 speed would still be a very good buy.

 

hmmm, check this link out. It says you could have ordered a 350 with a manual through 1986-1990 in the "Key Points of Interest" section.

Whoever published that site is a blooming idiot. He has more incorrect facts listed. Obviously the guys just writing what he heard from a good ol boy.

 

Yeah, you're right Drew. I thought it was weird that the article he links to "How to Order a 1LE" never said anything about a 350 with a manual transmission. It only showed options for the 305/5-speed and 350/Automatic. There are some other inconsistencies too. I've never heard of anyone owning one either.

 

Um lets see this is simple.... so someone trys to pass off a 305 car as a 350, look at the VIN, the eigth numger in the VIN should be an 8 on any B2L car, plus look at the RPO codes for B2L, and look at the emissions tag....

 

The only information I can find on the B4C and quantities optioned was published by WCA in the January 2002 issue of Camaro World magazine. They state the quantities of 91 B4C were 421 with approximately 270 autos and 150 5.0 5 speeds. Almost all of the 5 speeds went to Texas law enforcement. Those numbers are approximate, but I heard that the Texas police dept ordered more 5 speeds than autos.

 

I think thats stupid that they all came automatic, huge mistake for GM, if the 5.7L came in stick, with a 6 speed sales would of been sky rocket for GM, but since they dont have a clue to what there doing, I dont question it.

 

If they came with a the manual in the Corvette which could handle the L98's TQ, the Camaro would be too close to the Corvette.
