John
How long ago did you start with the Pontiacs? And what got you started?

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
Really got into it in 74 when I bought my 70 Formula.
Owned many Birds since. Couldn't afford anything like the RA V, so do a lot of reading. Probably got about every Pontiac article written since about 73, just hard to look thru them all.

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
That's cool, I still have my first car too.
I have always been amazed by the V, had a couple of chances to get heads but look at the mess I would have created for myself if I'd got hooked on that!!!

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
Yeah I'd seen him around PY.
Did you see the naughty pic of Linda before the link stopped working? I'll see if the pics are in my cache and put them on my server. I bet the server they are on has a download threshold and Yenko over ran it.

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
John,it is interesting over the years how much stuff was written and pics published that were incorrect.For example the pic of the V engine from Bauman(spelling) shows a 400 engine with 303 exhaust manifolds and does not have a V balancer on it.Also there are pics of RA V 400 blocks that are actually 303 blocks.The 303 besides the shorter deck have smaller mains(2 1/2)and is missing the reinforcing rib on the thrust side of the block I believe.It also has a filled in lifter bore area like a SBC.Also the blower block of Arnis that I have personally seen was a 3 1/4 main with splayed caps more like a 455SD than a 400 RA V block.VERY stout piece.Bill Blair has the one I actually saw.Keep up the good work,try and get the Mar 1968 Hot Rod for even MORE great pontiac developmental engines.Tom
