Chevrolet made sure they kept the Corvette leading the sports car charge in 1965. With four-wheel disc brakes, this already great car became even better. This classic, beloved, but short-lived, body-style was certainly beautiful, but these Sting Rays also had the muscle to back up those good looks. While many cars of this era simply relied on their engines to sell performance, the Corvette was built to handle the twisties as well. When it's time to work on your vintage 'Vette, you'll be pleased to find this service manual delivers the goods. In 1965, Chevy offered five different versions of the famous 327 cubic inch V-8 engine. They're all covered in this book. Here were the power plant choices:
- 250 horsepower - Carter WCFB carburetor and hydraulic lifters
- 300 horsepower - Carter AFB carburetor and hydraulic lifters
- 350 horsepower - Holley 4150 carburetor, special camshaft and hydraulic lifters
- 365 horsepower - Holley 4150 carburetor, special camshaft and mechanical lifters
- 375 horsepower - Rochester Fuel Injection, special camshaft and mechanical lifters

NOTE: This is the SHOP manual. In 1965, Chevrolet introduced some major new components such as the Turbo-Jet 396 engine, Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission and 3-speed synchronized manual transmission. These items were NOT included in the base shop manual, but they were captured in a special "interim" shop manual. For detailed information on those items, please see our: 1965 Chevrolet Interim / High Performance Shop Manual, which can be found by clicking here...1965 Chevrolet Interim / High Performance Shop Manual. If your '65 has any of these components, you'll definitely want to add the interim manual to your automotive library.
