The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) is a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1968 through 1982 model years.Engines and chassis components were mostly carried over from the previous generation, but the body and interior were new.he list price for the Corvette in 1968 was $4,663. By 1982, mostly due to inflation, the base price had increased to $18,290. In 1968 there were six engines, two small-block V8s and four big-block V8s. By 1982 there was only one small block V8 engine available.
Detroit automakers, in particular, persist with pushrod designs and rather successfully in the case of the born-again Chrysler Hemi and modern versions of the small-block Chevy V-8 that dates to 1955. The 2008 models present us with up-to-date pushrod and overhead-cam engines. Both are V-8s, and they are virtually identical in size. In the pushrod corner is the LS3 V-8 that powers the updated 2008 Corvette. This engine displaces 6162cc and, equipped with the optional dual-mode exhaust system, develops 436 horsepower at 5900 rpm and 428 pound-feet at 4600 revs.
