Default Re: 1970 gto judge ram air IV

I received a lead from a broker, and, bought the car from Arlen Vanke. I got it in the condition you can see on Micky Hale's website. Arlen rebuilt the motor for me, and, I never checked the casting numbers until I had it delivered to Micky's shop. I assumed it was the engine that was in it when it raced because that's what Arlen told me. The block is a RA V, and, it has RA IV heads. That's all I know, and, I don't really care where or when the engine was originally installed. If these cars were Nickeys, Yenkos, or Baldwin Motion cars, the fact that they were converted for racing at the leading hi po dealership would be a GOOD thing. As evidence of this, if I'm not mistaken, the highest value paid for a Yenko Camaro , at the time at least, was for Brian's yellow car which had the original 427 removed, and, a race motor installed at Yenko.
