Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
Last time I saw the aluminum frame it was hanging on the wall at Vances place in Marion,Ohio. But that was quite a few years ago. Jim

Do you think they still have the aluminum frame and it might be for sale?

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
I can think of a couple of real car ideas to do with the frame.
But just how much would something like that be worth, I think that's the real question.

Posted the Mar 68 Hot Rod to my web site.
Pontiac OHC V8 Tom or Steve, do you know the writer Eric Dahlquist? Maybe there are still color photos or more info he could provide?

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
John,Dont know the guy.
You will notice some bogus pics if you look carefully.The pic of the 3 valve engine with the valve cover off is one.They show a bathtub intake with 3 throttle bodys that has conventional intake port layout,now look at the placement of the intake valve!They are seperated like a RA V tunnel port.I think that engine was the engine to proceed with,no push rod in the port,2 exhaust valves going into one port that has the flange cut off like a BBC instead of the "droop snute" roll over like a pontiac.Looks like they just put something unique looking on for the mag pic.Tom

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
I haven't even gotten my copy of it yet from Ebay, and I'm not as old as Tom. So I doubt I will know him.
