thanks, here some info about the 1981 model and specs 1981 CORVETTE MECHANICS Similar to aesthetics, very few changes were made to the mechanics of the 1981 Corvette. Chevrolet clearly had their hands full with the big move. In addition, more people were accepting the inevitable end of an era. It was clear that the third generation was coming to an end. That being said, there was little need for a major makeover or mechanical rework. Perhaps they were saving any big changes for the launch of a new generation. 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Specs The one change worth mentioning, was the single engine option in 1981. As regulations and standards continued to tighten, Chevrolet knew they would never give up the Corvette, but they accepted that they would have to put in the work to improve its fuel compliance rating. The effort made to do this resulted in a single, reworked engine designated as L81, while the previous L48 and L82 350 ci engines were retired. 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Options The 1981 engine option was a 350 ci V-8, rated at 190 hp. The new L81 engine featured magnesium valve covers, a stainless steel exhaust manifold, and an auxiliary electric cooling fan that worked in conjunction with a smaller, engine driven cooling fan, which aided in noise reduction. An exciting introduction to the 1981 Corvette was the use of computer command control (CCC). This technology utilized electronics to integrate the emissions and fuel systems, which reduced smog and fuel consumption. CCC was also used with the automatic transmission’s new lockup torque-convertor clutch. This change eliminated gas-eating frictional losses through the convertor. Chevrolet also made efforts to reduce Corvette weight, which would ultimately benefit fuel efficiency. One major weight reduction was the change from a plastic mono-leaf fiberglass rear spring which weighed 8 pounds, in comparison to the previous 44 pound steel leaf springs.
