1963 Split Window Corvette 327/340 L76- black with red gut

Agree, 340 really is the best 63 engine if you intend to drive it. My 63 340 was my favorite among the 63s I've owned. However, now that I own a fuelie and figured out (with much help from others) how to make it run right, I can say there is some magic about the FI that a carbed car can't match.

----Agreed! My 65 white fuelie coupe (which I really miss) came with 4.11s and off road under car exhaust and it was posatively the sweetest sounding Corvette at around 5500 to 6500 RPM. Both Bob Gold and Chip Miller took it for a spin one year at B-Gold and were gone for half an hour. They came back with huge grins on both thier faces. I said "you buzzed it up didn't you" and they said "yup, both of us".....Bill S

A C2 Fuelie does make for sweet music over 5500 and 4:11s get you there quicker!
