Well, since they didn't make any 5.7 t-top cars in 1990-1992, I would say all of them.

Look here www.thirdgen.org . I am sure that they will have what you are looking for.

In 1990-1992, the 5.7 was not available in a t-top or convertable.

GM had built tons of cars that shouldn't exist over the years, this happend especially at the end of a cars production (1992 for the 3rd gen) when there were shortages of certain parts.

Someone over at thirdgen.org's friend which I will find the link to if anyone is interested had one that he bought from a dealer, the guy at thirgen.org helped him pull the motor out, and verified it was a 350.

From a post on thirdgen.org
In the '60s, GM had a rule that no small-ish cars except the Corvette could have more than 400ci, like the Nova, Camaro, Chevelle, etc... but GM built lots of "backdoor specials" like the COPO cars with 427s. GM also said no multi-carb engines for anything but the Corvette... then the Z/28 got the dual quad intake as a under-the-table option, or the TriPower GTOs.

If you read the entire thread you will see that it isn't a real t-top car.
