Question about my 87
I bought a 1987 coupe and it has aluminum heads and know they came out
with aluminum heads until 1988. Dose this mean that I have a late 87 and
is there anything else that could be different that I may want to know thanks for any help here!!! I get all my facts from a site called http://www.corvettehistory.com Great Site :cheers:

Re: Question about my 87 (Johns_87)
My Corvette parts book shows 1986 as the transition year between iron and aluminum heads. If my memory serves me, all 1986 convertibles had the alum heads. The change in 1988 must have been from the 128 alum heads to the 113 alum heads.

Re: Question about my 87 (BMarsh93)
What's the difference between the 128 and 113 heads?
There are some other rather small differences that I cant remember.
