How many 1972 Olds 442 small blocks produced with 4 speed?

The 1972 Oldsmobile 442 was offered with a small block V8 engine option, specifically the 350 cubic inch engine. However, the production numbers for this specific combination, particularly those equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission, are not well-documented. Estimates suggest that only a small fraction of the total 442s produced in 1972 were small block models with a 4-speed, making them quite rare among collectors. Exact production figures may vary, but they are generally considered to be in the low hundreds.
