Judges

[DaJudge]

The 303 RA V was developed for SCCA Trans Am series racing. This engines did not perform very well in the series and development stopped. There were some 69 Firebirds running in the series back in day the with 302 Chevys in them. I still wish the 400 RA V's were released in factory cars like Judges and TA's. Nascar tried to use a RA V in 71. David Pearson drove a 71 GTO with a V in it. His team only raced the car for a partial season they could'nt keep the engines together. Ray Nichols engineering built the cars for Pearson, it was campaigned as the number 33 and the number 17 that year. Check out the pics, it's the only GTO that I know of to ever race in Nascar.
