Production LT4 numbers
A little trivia for a boring Wednesday night.
Curious if anyone knows of any other production vehicles that were produced with the LT4.
Here is what I have:
1997: 29 firehawk
1997: 102 Camaro SS
1996: 6359 total Corvettes
-GS - 1000
-CE - 2009
-Other - 3350
Total LT4 produced = 6490
I believe the Camaro and Firehawk were both considered one off cars. However, I still counted them as they were sold new with factory warranty.
Anyone know of a production car that I missed?

You listed all the ones that I am aware of.
Quite a few people don't realize the LT4 was available in a limited number of '97 F-Bodies.
Those cars were all sold through the dealership, but they didn't leave the assembly line with the LT4 engine.
They were all shipped from the factory to SLP for the engine swap.

The LT4 was a special high-performance version of the new-generation LT1. With the addition of a slightly more aggressive camshaft profile, 1.6:1 roller aluminum rocker arms, high-flow intake manifold (painted red) with extra material above the port available to allow port matching to the raised port LT4 cylinder heads, it was rated at 330 horsepower (250 kW) and 340 lb·ft (461 N·m). It was introduced in the 1996 model year, for the last year of the C4 Corvette, and came standard on all manual transmission (ZF 6-speed equipped) C4 Corvettes. The engine was passed down to special versions of the Camaro and Firebird the next model year.
The LT4 was available on the following vehicles:
1996 Chevrolet Corvette when equipped with 6-speed manual transmission (includes all Grand Sports) (Production: 6,359)
1997 Chevrolet Camaro SLP/LT4 SS 6-speed (Production: 100 for the U.S., 6 for Canada. There were 2 prototypes)
1997 Pontiac Firebird SLP/LT4 Firehawk 6-speed (Production: 29)
All 135 production engines for the Firehawks and Camaro SS were completely disassembled, balanced, blueprinted and honed with stress plates. One in 5 engines was tested on a Superflow engine dyno and every car was tested on a chassis dyno in addition to performing a short 6-mile (10 km) road test.
