This has been floating around internet for a few years. Possibly photoshopped.

The first photo looks like an 8BA with 4 carbs. The second photo looks like a 59AB with 3 carbs. Perhaps he had different engines in the car at different times. As a Flathead enthusiast and a first gen Camaro owner, the thought has crossed my mind.

A short time ago there was a flathead powered Falcon for sale in Ohio. It is real because a friend of mine saw it in the early 2000s. I think he & I also talked about the Camaro. He HATED Chevys & thought it was a waste of a flathead.

Years ago I sold one of my T5 to Flathead kits to a man in Michigan who was putting a FH into a mid 60's Corvette. During one of the last shows that I had a booth at in Kalamazoo he brought by pictures of the completed car

It’s real and the guys name was Clarence Elliot. He was a racer and engine builder from Oregon.

I remembered the Flathead Corvette guy. His name was Harold Ely and he owned Windsor Fabrications. His company produced high quality fiberglass bodies in the 90's and early 2000's. Mostly 33/34 bodies.

A long time ago I was doing a show in Post Falls Id & was parked next to a camaro that young fellow was putting a flatty in. He said he wanted to be different. He voiced a concern about Camaro people being PO'd. The car was camaro orange at the time. He had the hood open too.

I'd seen this years ago and wondered about the veracity of this. If this is the case the guys an "idiot." A 396 gen 1 Camaro value?....heaps. With a flat head?..a novelty.

Quite a few years ago Tom Senter had a flathead powered Camaro. The car was featured on the cover, and in an article in Popular Hot Rodding Magazine. IIRC the engine is now owned by Dave Simard, I saw it sitting on the bench in his garage.
