Default C7 427?

Did Chevy ever make a 427 corvette for the 2014 model year? If so, did they make ań automatic version?

No, the 2014 Corvette only had the 6.2L, (378CI) LT1 engine.

The 2006 - 2013 Z06 had the 427 as did the 2013 427 Convertible; all had manual transmissions. 2013 was the last model year for the 427 in a Corvette.

.....and the 427 was never linked to an "Auto" during the C6 Gen production years. You would have to go all the way back to '69 to find the last time a 427 was in front of an "Auto" trans.

OP - if you're set on a c7 and a 427, you can get a sweet set up done with Katech.

Thanks gentlemen. That's what I thought. But saw the 427 running through 2014 in some info I saw but don't remember where. Saw a C7 427 automatic advertised on autotrader. Didn't smell right. Thanks again.

Before my C7 I had a C5 (2004 coupe, torch red) with an ECS built 427 and a RPM built automatic (4 speed), it smelled good and ran better. Could not purchase an automatic Z06, so I had one built. Doug at ECS had a great tune on it and never had a problem for the 4+ years it was street driven (got good gas milage too-27.8 Hwy.)
