Remember the 1967 Corvette L88 that hit the ungodly sum of $3.5 million? With only 20 built, it certainly was rare and, equipped with a racing engine dressed in street clothes, it had the appeal of horsepower. Who would have guessed it would go for so much? So it must be time for some of the other 20 to hit the block and see what kind of prices they will bring. During June 13-14, we’ll get that chance at Mecum’s Seattle 2014 auction.

When the 1967 Corvettes were introduced, a new multi-carb 427 was introduced in 400- and 435-horse variations. However, nestled in the order form was a single four-barrel 427 with 430 horsepower that cost much more than the other 427s. How could a lower-horse 427 cost more? Heck, you couldn’t even get a radio! The reason for the lower rating was supposedly to keep buyers from thinking, “I’m gonna get me the top horsepower version” and then learn that their Corvette was not streetable. And when you think about it, the L88 was hardly streetable with 12.5:1 compression, no power steering, no heater . . . not even a fan shroud. Would you like your Corvette overheating in traffic?

Whether you call it a Tri-Power, a six pack, or triple two-barrels, multiple carburetion is considered a high performance package. Even if they do run poorly, the “eye candy” appeal under the hood is unmistakable. Like most multiple carburetion, the Rochester 2G carburetors in this application do not work very well. In an effort to keep tuning simple for service technicians, only the center carburetor was made with an idle circuit. A person only needs to adjust the two idle mixture screws, just like any other two or four-barrel single carburetor.

Introduced in 1965, the Quadrajet is the only four-barrel carburetor that performed well during the 1960s, through tighter emissions in the 1970s, and lent itself to electronic feedback in the 1980s. The Quadrajet takes advantage of its “spreadbore” design to offer very good fuel economy and outstanding performance. Spreadbore means that it has small primary bores and much larger secondary bores. Most versions have 1-3/8” diameter primaries (very few had 1-7/16” primaries) and all have giant 2-¼” secondaries. During normal driving, the engine operates off the small primaries. Following the laws of physics, the higher the velocity of air through the venturis, the more efficiently you can meter fuel. With the small primaries in this carb you can take a 5,000 pound Cadillac or Olds 98 and achieve 16-17 mpg, which is not bad at all considering the heft of the vehicle. When the driver gets in a hurry however, the huge secondaries open and you can pretty much watch the gas gauge move. The “air valve” type secondary had two controlling features.

For 58 of its 60 years, the Chevrolet Corvette has been powered by the legendary Chevrolet V8 engine. Technological advancements have increased output threefold – from 195 hp in 1955 to 638 hp today – as well as reliability, refinement and efficiency.

However, the fundamental architecture of the Chevrolet “small block” remains the same today as it was in 1955: a 90-degree V8 with overhead valves actuated by pushrods, and a 4.4-inch on-center bore spacing.
