1958 LS7 Swapped Corvette Dyno Run!

There’s nothing that quite compares to the classics. Take this first generation Chevrolet Corvette, for example. It’s hard to deny that this is one classic design.

The thing about older muscle cars is that while they may look and sound the part, sometimes their performance figures leave a lot to be desired.

In such a situation, the owner of this 1958 Corvette decided it would be best to place a late model LS7, generally found in 2006-2013 Corvette Z06s, into his old school ride, resulting in almost 500hp to the rear tires!

Check out the car in the video below as it hits the dyno rollers and makes some pretty good power. What do you think of this resto-mod? Is the modern power a good idea or should the owner have left it with old-school power?
