That LS1 swap is exactly what I’d want in a 1958 Corvette. Original engines from that era are temperamental and unreliable for regular driving. The LS1 gives you actual drivability while keeping the classic look intact. This is the smart way to restore a vintage car.
The suspension tweaks might be subtle on paper, but on the road? That’s where it matters. Enthusiasts care about how it handles, not spec sheets. Good call highlighting that.
