I talked to the owner earlier about the block codes, and didn't relay that right. There is no VIN stamped. He promptly corrected me, and watch the following.... sent some pics.

[Steve_Hoog]

The owner has taken the motor out of the car since I saw it last, here is a pic of the front of the block where wanted me to show the broach marks. Along with the engine code.

[Steve_Hoog]

This code is cast in the side of the block, and may be exclusive to RAV blocks but not sure.

[Steve_Hoog]

This is the casting number in the intake.

These are the heads and aluminum flywheel that were on the vehicle when he tore it down a year ago, he's not sure if it was GM. I just called him and sent him back out to his shop to find out if there is a GM number on it, seems like I've heard about such flywheels but not sure myself.

Steved the WY is interesting but the RA V had a different casting number then any 400 blocks made . What is it? And can we all see a picture of it? And finally show me the VIN number in the block because if it was factory that cars VIN will be in the block if not kiss my ass. At least an engineering number should be on the block. I have been around these cars since I was 17 and have owned and researched many Pontiacs. My 71 Judge won a gold at Nationals and was the first 71 Judge made and was tagged for Detriot and Atlantic City New Jersey autoshows and was the first Judge made for 71, the [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Charley.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Charley.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Charley.gif[/img] build sheet backs up my mouth. I have owned many GTO's and Judges and I think I know what I am talking about.

I certainly hope you will be at Joplin next year, it will be an immense pleasure to meet you in person.

The owner of the car is already in his pj's and didn't feel like he needed to fill your request for another pic, I don't blame him. He did say to tell you the number is 481708, and tomrorrow he might go flip the block for a pic. But he thinks your a little over the edge.

If you will go back and read the previous post, you will see that I clearly stated there is no VIN number on the block. And no I will not kiss your butt.

You and Don both need to remember, this is not about what I have said. This is about what Bill Knafel has said. I don't know Bill personally, but I bet he has more integrity than anyone elses opinion in this matter.

Bragging about a car is not my style, racing is. Bring on your first 71 Judge, lets see if you can back it up at the track!!!

i think bill knafle tends to elaborate the truth of what he remembers. EVERYBODY LOVES A [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]GOOD STORY!

I am sorry to see that an old car dealer has more respect and integrity than a person like Jim Mattison who actually worked for GM and has stated that a RA V car did not come from the factory, please review the past 100 posts to verify this quote. I never talked about drag racing my car but it did run a 13.2 at ATCO raceway and my RA IV car has run 12.98's with slicks. I think that's pretty respectible for stock cars with some tuning. Can't wait to meet you in Joplin, maybe we can even have a beer at Roadhouse Rubys or Guitars and Cadillacs, they are great bars and I would love to buy you a round.
