| Five great powerhouses supply the performance for any
kind of Corvette go the owner desires. The successful 327 cubin inch
five-main-bearing V8, rated at 250 horsepower is standard. This engine
gives sprightly around-town performance and cruises at highway speeds at
no more than an easy loaf. Any of four other big V8s can be ordered: a 300
HP version that provides more go without sacrificing any tractability ; a
new 350 HP engine that gives all-out performance while remaining perfectly
at ease in stop-and-go traffic; and two high-performance engines with top
horsepower for the '65: the 365 HP engine and the 375 HP Ramjet Fuel
Injection engine that extract the last full measure of performance from
the husky 327. Also available later in the '65 model year is the 396 cubic
inch big block rated at 425 horsepower. |
