not sure if it was ever done. but that would be a disgrace to the corvette name.. tho some moron somewhere has probably done the swap for it..

Probably...but I got a bet that they never did.

Exception: The very first Corvettes (1953-1954) came with V6's, but V8's have been in em ever since.

Never?

Anyway, the early Vettes didnt have a V6, it was an inline 6.

yup

only 300 1953 vettes with inline 6's

a few (2 or 3) thousand 1954's

and about 6 or 7 1955's

the rest of the 700 1955's had the 265 SBC and carried a gold "V" in the corvette script on the cars side
