Default Re: Floats my Boat...'70 Judge RAIV 4 Speed!

Born with engines are a major factor in value with Poncho-files - even worse than the hemi Mopar guys. Because of those crazy cast rods, the vast majority of Pontiac round port cars RAII, RAIII, RAIV, and 455HO succumbed early. Even the SD455s with their forged rods lost quite a few brethren very early in life. The RAIV GTOs which had mandatory 3.90 or 4.33 gears were particularly prone. There is no forgiving a missed shift with those gears in a low reving Pontiac motor.
