"....You will find that ALL Chevy small blocks become "corvette" engines when they are sold...."

Ain't that the truth.

Sorry, kinda new to all of this. All I knew about that engine was that that whoever had the truck before me, used it for some sort of racing. And whoever had it before me swapped the Manual transmission to an Automatic (came with a Road Demon carb on it. Took that off and just went with a standard carb. I had some trouble with the engine flooding while going up and down hills) I kinda figured it wasn't really a "Corvette Engine" That's just what ever one had been telling me. I take it this is a pretty common engine then?

Back in the day, every guy had a "Corvette" engine in his car, but if that were true there would have been no Corvettes left on the roads, all of them would be sitting engineless in junkyards ! However, I bet every Chevy dealer in the USA did a landslide business selling those cool valve covers for $ 17.00 a pair.
