I was thinking at first that it might be "Project Prodigy" with a new engine, but after looking *really* hard at the cards on the radiator, it appears to be a 69. Project Prodigy is a 67, but has the same black/red center stripe color scheme. It also has hidden headlights, not the exposed ones like this car has.

LT1 with a converted manifold for a rear mount distributor?

Must have converted the heads too!! Water outlet across the front of the manifold. This is a Mini Ram for a standard SBC.

Hay, they would still look great on an LT1. Be a little hard to shoehorn into my 4th Gen. though.

Damn, it looks like it was totally ripped off of Project Prodigy.
