Hey Gang,
I was wondering… has anyone compiled a list / spreadsheet that breaks down the known M22 rockcrusher Camaro application percentages by engine usage? Basically, how many are associated directly to a 302, L78, L89, 427, etc.?
I believe that a specific breakdown by GM isn’t available (only the year-end production totals), but based on the many years of data gathering efforts by this awesome dedicated group of enthusiasts, perhaps someone already created a “guestimate” of percentages using known examples?
Beyond just a summary percentage, a more detailed breakdown would also be helpful: How they were verified / source of data (such as window stickers/docs, orphan transmissions that aren’t with their cars anymore, cars that still have their original gear boxes), and even LA vs. NOR cars, etc?
This type of effort has been done before on other categories, but I can’t seem to find anything on the internet specifically covering M22’s. My motivation for asking this is because I am one of the lucky ones with a ‘69Z that still has its born-with M22, so I"m curious as to how many (theoretically) were installed in Z's versus other applications.
So has this already been done and I just can’t find it, or is this maybe another category that possibly a “volunteer” could take on and then share the results with the community (like them cool gas tank date codes)?
