Default Corvette Diagram/ Specs sheet

Hi guys, Im new to the corvette world. I'm 21, and buying my dads 68. I am studying to be an engineer and would like to do my own mechanical work. I was wondering if there was a complete diagram or specs sheet somewhere that I could study so I know my car in and out. thanks

I have a C3 1968 stingray 7L 427

The 350cui was not available for the '68, the only small block was the 327cui(5.3L) available in two hp ratings, 300 & 350hp as well as the 427cui (7L) big block.
