I've heard Bill Thomas was the first person to do development of a big block in a Camaro as early as August '66 but whether that was contract work for Chevrolet or for the Nickey/Thomas partnership is unknown.
I would go with Bill Thomas, he built the super cheetah with an L88 in 64 with clandestine backing from GM.

Would that not be a "Mystery Motor" and not an L88 in 64? Like the Impala's 427 Mark II I believe they were called?

If that Cheetah has a Chevy 427 in 1964, it would be a Z11. Punched out 409 making 430 HP. Chevy's Super Stock engine.
