Those are pretty rare "staggered" Corvette, I pretty sure that a one year only design ('57).

I noticed that you are using those little clevis pins on your rear suspension....I used those once on a 36 chevy truck build and I broke 3 of them from stress under power...I don't think that they are heavy enough for rear four bar setup and you should probably use a rod end instead..imo..nice build otherwise[cl

rat fink,I use the ladder bar set up on my chassis' all the time.
Made in the USA,seen cars go 10 seconds with em.
Not a issue.

GRB, the heads are 1958 staggered bolt,block is a 1958 too
has the side mounts.
