Re: Judges
Thanks for the thread I check it out and found Milt Schornacks website.Interesting site very good information but I never once read about anybody mentioning the size of the RAV.All I saw was 428's and a 421 mentioned never a 400 or 303?I did check out the attachments that were posted and I saw that the RAV's HP was 565 inpressive.

Re: Judges
Don't forget about 366.
There are a couple of board members that have RAV stuff and Tom is probably one of the top in the country with effort and rarities. Though it's not proven on paper, Sixtiesmucle has what I perceive to be one of the most desirable Pontiacs in the country. With an undocumented trip to Pontiac Engineering via Knafel Pontiac, the motor in the Tin Indian may be one of the most exclusive. Want to really dive of in some controversy go read this thread: 1970 gto judge ram air IV 70 Judge RAIV and V continuation

Re: Judges
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.

Re: Judges
Like I said to steved the variation in size is unreal.You mentioned that the 303 was for raceing and the 400 was going in street cars how about the 366?Was the 366 just an experiment?
