I’ve said this before that I don’t usually trust Wikipedia, but Wikipedia does say every engine was in fact pushrod.

I meant that every Corvette had a small block V8 in it. I can’t words sometimes.

Oh, no problem. 
Many Corvettes had big block engines, up to the 454 was fitted.
As for pushrod engines, the only one NOT using that was the original ZR1.
It had a all alloy DOHC 32 valve engine designed by Lotus and built by Mercruicer.
Chevy could not make such advanced engines on their own at that time.

This is America, dammit. We don’t know what DOHC means. 
But in all seriousness, Chevy has it right in using pushrod on their sports cars and trucks - I mean, have you ever realized that we have nearly half a million mile 1990’s Chevy trucks as daily drivers here? My buddy has one that has 300,000 miles, and his dad’s has 450,000 miles.
