The Corvette's first V8, the now legendary small block was developed for Chevy cars such as the '55 Chevy. It wasn't developed for the slow selling and on it's death bed C1. Even in 1955 quite a few V8s were on the domestic market. And, as was mentioned the first two years of the Corvette were powered by an I6. Even the '57 fuel injection V8 wasn't developed for the Corvette so much as the Chevy sedan and coupe.
