Yes.
I'm hoping that someone else will chime in with the all of the "what years had which options" list.
I'm certain that there were no engine options available for the 1973 Corvette with a solid lift setup.

Wasn't the LT-1 still around in '73? It was solid-lift.

I just did a quick search and found the following specs for 1973 Corvettes:http://www.vettes.com/Votn97/usa/vtech/1973.htm

Base engine 350ci 190 HP

L82 350ci 250 HP 5710 produced

LS4 454ci 275 HP 4412 produced

Corvettelvr;

Miker is right. '73 L-48 used hydraulic cam, as did the other two engines, L-82 and LS4. '72 was the last year of the LT-1.
