Re: 70 Judge RAIV and V continuation
 

I REALLY hate to throw something else on the dead horse,BUT,after looking at my block numbers on my RA V block,I think that any test engne sent out by the factory would be a developmental engine.They all would have been DS part numbers.My block has DS-1001,under that EO-3777 and under that*5.to the right and between those lines is 98V-400RV-05.I have never seen or had a set of 400 heads that were taped for smog.I have seen and have owned 303 heads that were tapped for smog.AND as far as I know there has only been one set of GTO exhaust found for the GTO body.This further makes me think there were NO factory installed V motors to go to the public in anyway in a GTO.If any V motor was factory installed I think it would have been a 303 WITH a smog pump and castiron exhaust.IMHO,Tom

Re: 70 Judge RAIV and V continuation
 

You have posted some great info regarding the RA V. What cars are your RA V's in ? In 1971 David Pearson ran a GTO in NASCAR , it is in fact the only GTO to have ever run in NASCAR. The piece I read stated that the cars ran well but the motors would not last. Does anyone know if that may have been a RAM AIR V? ( I will try to find the piece and post it) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: 70 Judge RAIV and V continuation
 

My RA V motor is a developmental ALU block with all RA V stuff EXCEPT exhaust.I own the exhaust but am running Nunzi headers.It is in a real 69 T/A.I am building a COMPLETE 303 short deck 2-4 Xram SCCA engine.It will be stroker motor,390CI.It will have the correct dist,balancer,X ram 2-4 intake and exhaust.
The Nascar engine was a 366CI engine,it used a std. deck block as far as I remember.

Re: 70 Judge RAIV and V continuation
 

Last one checkout the CID callouts on the hood 366 CID. A ram air V under the hood? It would be interesting to know, it would explain where some of the engines wound up . These shots were taken at the 71 Southern 500. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Great car to put it in right where it belongs. The callouts on the hood of Pearson's GTO is 366 CID . Pretty interesting. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: 70 Judge RAIV and V continuation
 

by the way,my iron 400 AND my alu 400 V blocks BOTH have the DS1001 numbers?
