Is your car a corvette?

That should answer your question.

Its not a Corvette, so it shouldn't have the Corvette badges.

Corvette valve covers, fuel rail covers, etc would be ok, maybe even the corvette emblem somewhere on the car would be ok, but I'd avoid the 'Corvette' script anywhere on the car where other people would see it.

maybe you could get some decals saying "corvette 5.7" for the side infront of the door, but i wouldn't get the emblems

when you say vette motor, is it a TPI L98, or an LT1??

If it's an L98, there's a lot of 5.7 Tuned Port Injection badges out there for camaros and the like already.

if it's an LT1, i'd just get an LT1 badge for the fender.

If you really wanted a badge on your car, get one that says something like "Powered by 'Vette 350" or somethign like that, just an option.
But i say go with the sleeper look

No badges. I would put something along the lines of 5.7 on it, but your car's not a Corvette. Think if you saw a Mustang with TA badges.

I agree with Drew, engine badges are fine. I'd stay away from any exterior 'vette badging.
