View Description
Regular Production Option (RPO) L89 first became available with the 1967 Corvette. What made the L89 special is that it added the competition heads from the all-aluminum L88 427, along with an aluminum intake topped by three 2-barrel carbs on the base L71 427 CID V8. The result was a very potent 435HP/460TQ (SAE NET) rating from the factory. Only 624 of the 1968 Corvette production were equipped with the rare factory aluminum head L89 RPO code option, so the likelihood you can nab a real one will be along the lines of finding a pin in a stack of needles. Consequently, going with a well done tribute is a popular route: you get the performance of the original, yet you don't have to worry about potentially damaging an original. This sleek Corvette absolutely embodies the spirit of the 1960s with its bold design and powerful performance capabilities. Under the hood lies the legendary 427 CID V8 engine, with its 'tri deuce' carburetors and aluminum intake and heads, this bad boy promises an exhilarating driving experience. The big 427 sends all that power out back via its Muncie 4-Speed manual transmission to the 3. 70:1 Posi-equipped rear end. If you aren't...
