Jack Gibbs was involved in a similar project. No Corvair roof but a stock bodied 69 Camaro. Can not remember the man's name. I have his name on my shop computer but have not plugged it in since I closed the shop. It was a real high end built......Jack built the engine and was kind enough to refer the owner to call me as I had a set of 65 exhaust manifolds they used on the build. Maybe Jack can fill in more detail and pictures.

I thought about dropping a 409 in one of my 68 Camaros but witout any body changes.
Could also drop a Corvair body on a 78-82? G body frame with 409 up front.

Incredible detail to convert the interior!!

At least he only used the V flags on the trunk and did not the 61 SS flags to claim it was a 409 SS car.

LOL LOL LOL

For a Camaro ...... it's OK .................can't believe I just said that

My question is was that horse power[490?] or so obtained with those stock manifolds on the engine? If so,that's a baaaaaaaaaaaad engine!

That is not something I would want to see in my driveway. Or my neighbor's driveway.

I was thinking progressive linkage...must not be to bad.
But nice and clean.

Wouldn't it look super wild if they had grafted a mini 'bubbletop' roof from the Corvair onto it?

Duh, a closer look shows they did!

Ol' dopey me......

Hey, it's the bifocals, I tell ya....
