Re: 67 L78 car?
 

Well, that's something you don't see everyday. It even required a stinger hood to fit.

<span style="font-weight: bold">“This is Clarence Everett’s one year old Camaro. He ran G or H/G. He was a Flathead legend in Oregon.
Clarence bought the one year old SS396 as a recovered theft, pulled the engine and installed the Flathead. Clarence raced Bonneville and the drags for about 40 years, with all types of cars, mostly Flathead powered.”</span>

I'm beating it was a L78 car, a 325 car would have the front emblem SS396 on the grill, car being a year old I don't think the front emblem was messed with.

I really like L78's too but it's only a car man.

This can't be correct...as my brother's Camaro is a 396/325 horse car...and here's a day one picture...notice the front SS emblem...no &quot;SS396&quot;

I would be more interested into hear why you think L35 cars had SS396 emblems and not just SS. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] I have not seen (at least to my memory) a correct 67 L35 car that had SS 396.. SS small blocks had the SS 350.

Just noticed there are no hood springs and the hood appears to be a fiberglass stinger hood.
Also the nose stripe looks too wide.
FWIW both my L35's have just a SS emblem.

'67 SS396 Camaros had a simple SS emblem. The repop &quot;SS396&quot; emblems in today's parts catalogs that say they are correct aren't. My '67 RS/SS396 has the original emblem (unrestored car) and the bottom edge is straight across where they altered the &quot;SS350&quot; emblem to make the 396 car's SS emblem. Chevy basically &quot;trimmed off&quot; the 350 part. My 1970s high school buddy still has his second-owner '67 non-RS SS396 and it too has the original SS emblem that is straight across the bottom. '68s had the &quot;figure 8&quot; outline around the emblem and were not straight across like the '67 396s was. Repops are also all &quot;figure 8&quot; in outline, close-cropped around the outline of the two S's.
