Even the Engine is Pretty but...

Description

Engine as seen in the bay of a beautiful 1957 Corvette.

Here is a link to a photo of an original 1957 fuel injected Corvette engine: [link]

How many differences can you identify? I see only one. It's a different engine! But it sure is pretty!

Although I often tend to be a purist, a modern Corvette engine installed here does not diminish the fabulousity of this 1957 Corvette. After all, this engine is fuel injected too. It only means that Sweetie will have even more horsepower at her command.

I guess that the main diff is that the original Rochester FI system was mechanical and the new one is electronic.
Also, that looks like a roots-type supercharger with a long shaft drive.
