Sure would be nice to hear the story on this one. April 68 photo of a 67 Camaro. The thing is not even out of warranty yet and they stuck a flathead in it? Can't imagine it being better then the engine that came in the car????

I'm sure it was done to compete in a specific drag class that only allowed six cylinders, straight eights and flathead V-8's with stock production type heads. J/Gas and F/Modified Production were two such classes according to my 1969 NHRA rule book.

Looks like a fiberglas stinger hood on it too. No springs on the hood hinges.

Info on the pic above:

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.

There's actually a Dodge Colt in the background in this pic. Took me a few minutes to notice it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I remember this picture being posted a long time ago. Her name is Carol, and she was a &quot;Jungle Pam&quot; type of girl, only not as well known.

The depth of knowledge on this board is a never ending source of amazement to me [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]
