The 8 wet liner cylinders were in a V formation set at 90 degrees with fuel and air were supplied via a Bosch
mechanical fuel injection system with the injector pump in the middle of the cylinder vee and eight separate throttle butterflies mounted outboard of each induction port.
Now known as the AMV8, the car retained the
Bosch mechanical fuel injection system until August 1973, when four twin choke Weber carburettors were fitted, together with updates to the interior trim, a bigger bonnet bulge to clear the carburettor air box and a re-designed fuel tank to allow more luggage space.
Team Continues to Develop New Technology for Transition to E85 Ethanol SEBRING, Fla. — From the early days of the marque
when mechanical fuel injection and disc brakes were novelties to the advanced carbon fiber construction and sophisticated CFD aerodynamics of the 21st century, Corvette has long been a leader in developing and refining new technology.
The original SLs were also groundbreaking in their early use
of mechanical fuel injection in an era where contemporary Ferraris, Porsches, and Aston Martins were still using carburetion.
These were homologated by Jaguar for the Lightweight E-type in addition to a
