What a great Corvette collection you have👌 at one time I had a 1957 Corvette that I had restored and still regret selling it to this day.

A great video, Rob, thank you, beautiful cars, thank you Mel
Thank you Robert for your support🙏
Great video Robert and the owner love and knows a lot about his cars
@@danielbello4472 Thank you Daniel! Yes, he is an expert at Corvette’s.
backup lights (the 2 inside taillights) were standard in 1966 Corvettes, and an option in 1965
This is the L79 and this engine did not use the Duntov cam, the Duntov cam was a fairly radical solid lifter cam, the 327/350 was a hydraulic cam. Compression was 11 to 1.
@@thud9797 All I know is that Mel is an expert in Corvettes so I will show him this comment to see what he says. Thanks for watching and appreciate the support💪
@@305classics
Ok cool and the car is incredible! 😎
@@thud9797 it sure is. I’ll get back to you with the info.
@@thud9797 Ok, so here is his response: The engine was a replacement block under warranty back in 1969. When the car was restored, it was upgraded with solid lifters and a DUNTOV camshaft was installed. He is correct about the factory specs for this motor - however the restorer beefed up the engine
Hope this clears it up. Thanks again for watching💪

Awesome, that's a great build.
In 1978 I bought a 1966 Corvette Stingray. The car was an original 427-425 HP, but the seller told me that the previous owner blew up the engine and replaced it with a 327-365 HP engine. The prefix I.D. on the block read CEA. At that time I had no idea what CEA stood for as it wasn't listed in any of my reference books. Some years ago I was told CE stood for "counter engine." Nevertheless, I don't know what the "A" stood for. The 327 engine had the proper equipment (pop up pistons, aluminum intake manifold, two hump heads, rams head exhaust manifolds, chrome dipstick, solid lifter cam, etc. However, the distributor I.D. indicated it was from a 327-350 HP,. That engine was always somewhat of a mystery to me.
@@1royalpalm Interesting, I can ask Mel to see if he knows what it stands for. Thanks for Watching
@@305classics Thanks. The block was clearly stamped CEA.
BTW, my brother was the second owner of a 1971 Corvette in that same green color back in the mid-1970s, but it had black interior, also had the other wheels and the luggage rack, sold it when he got married
Very cool! I bet he wishes he had it back. Thanks for watching💪
The 350hp 327 (L79) did not have a solid flat tappet cam. It was an aggressive hydraulic cam.
So I don’t remember what he had said but understand that this guy is an expert Corvette guy who works for Hagerty. This is his expertise.
Well, I would think before to were to put your foot in your mouth you would have gone and listened to what he said. Then perhaps you would have done a tiny bit of research to see what the L79, 327 CID 350 hp engine was equipped with. So in spite of this guys supposed credentials he is wrong about a 350 hp 327ci (L79) having a solid lifter cam. He's not the only one with knowledge about Corvettes. In this case, he is mistaken.
@@lencac7952 So I spoke with the owner to confirm for you and his engine was replaced under warranty back in 1969 by original owner. When they replaced the engine, the owner upgraded to sold lifters and DUNTOV cam so you are correct.
I don’t pretend to be an expert on any of these cars, I just let the owners give the viewer the history and story. Thanks for watching and appreciate the support.
Hope you have a great day.
(-:
Was that hood standard with a '67 small block? I am confused
@@doncompton9453 This hood was not standard but the factory had run out so for a couple months, they used these hoods, making it rare since only very little were built during those months.
Please quit putting big block hoods on small block cars.
So did you watch the video with the explanation? Watch and you will see why.
