Very interesting Tom, that is a ton of money to invest in a block but rare enough to justify it I guess. Nice HP rating also. I think I recall Arnie and maybe others wondering if anyone has ever blown some V heads yet, you know anything on that?

Ed is it raining up there, it is here?

Something just struck me, aluminum flywheel in the article Joec posted. Hmmm......

I just dug up in Pete's Handbook looking to see if he mentioned anything on that. He didn't, but he did talk about a special torque converter PZ. Micky/Mike, I noticed a tranny sitting in the drivers seat on the Tin. Any chance the original converter is still there? By what Pete wrote it looks like one was never built, but might be worth a look in the ole parts pile.

No converter was with it.

I can understand that, the stock converter is the first thing in the trash can in my shop. That may not have made it past the first year of the cars existance.

does this article contradict what wangers has been saying??? i have heard him say (in person) the only ra 5 tested was the blue/white car of mr schultz (hope i spelled it correct, if not sorry).

Re: 1970 gto judge ram air IV
 

bill, in response to your post (page 13) i guess that the article posted by joec (page 16) does in fact prove that a judge did in fact leave the factory with a ra 5 engine in it. what happened to it?? good question. never say never ever.

Check out this link it discusses the Crystal Turquiose car. This is a killer GTO and is the only documented car known.

Re: 1970 gto judge ram air IV
 

I have a supercharger intake that is supposed to be off the 69 GTO funny car run by Don Gay. Photos on the Performance Years board. Have not been able to document this. Anyone here got any photos of this car? Especially engine shots. Gay ran the RAV early on in the car and then switched to Hemi power later. Jim
