Being a limited run & short production I bet the 3 month average is out , I would guess they cast 6000 blocks almost in one batch once the decision was made to build them at all , they knew they were building 2500 ish of the T/A & AAR to meet sanction rules & there would be some spares for warranty or flawed castings .
Roughly a large plant like St Louis or Hamtramk built 250,000 cars / year given 350,000 ish serial #s & approx 240 working days they would need over 1000 blocks / day so 6000 T/A blocks would be approx 1 weeks production for 1 plant
