The L76 had a high-rise intake with Holley carb and obviously the L84 had the Rochester fuel injection. Both used the Duntov 30/30 solid lifter cam. Just to add to the 1964 line,the standard engine in Corvettes that year was a 250hp 327. Yep,I had one of those too,,a Red/White 1964 coupe with 250hp/327,powerglide,power steering,power brakes,power windows,and factory air (rare option).

I've forgotten what was changed in the engine to make the extra power,if anything. They also made a 365hp Holley carb'd 327 in 1965. Anyone know the different power ratings of the 64 Corvette 327's? I've forgotten if they were the same as the MY63 or MY65.
