1955 Corvette engine?

Hi, I saw this car on bring a trailer and the guy says he thinks someone fitted it with a Corvette engine form 1955, engine number T219GC. I know it may be a far reach but, figured if the someone here owned the car they'd be happy to find the engine, here are the links. He has the car, a really cool one IMOP, on ebay.

from ebay: "The car is currently fitted with what I believe to be a Corvette engine from 1955, the engine number is T219GC. The rear tires are slick drag racing tires."

ebay item number 330676256726
Hope it may helps someone. Max

I agree with the above, plus it looks like the valve cover bolts are not staggered and did you look for an oil filter? It shouldn’t have one.
