Just from looking at the Corvette Black Book it looks like the engine out of 73 Corvette # 32561, CLA is the engine code for the L48, 190hp with auto trans, not an expert on #'s so if someone reads this different please jump in here.
 
Tom is correct. Your engine is a '73 L-48. It is not an L-82. If #32561 is still around, I bet her owner would like to talk to you.

mike how much do you think its worth ..just a ball park price ..
 
I have no idea. It would be valuable to the owner of #32561 or to anyone restoring a '73 since it is a correct L-48.
