Re: Ram Air III Engine
I was looking at the date code as well after my post, J168 is 10/68, Keith check the vin and the date code again. That casting number may have been carried over to 69, I am not sure. Run a PHS like Pete mentioned. The VIN would be 242379B164939 for a hardtop or it could be 242679B164939 for a convert.
It would be cool to find out if it is for a automatic RA III GTO or a Judge. Plus you would lay to rest what it actually is.

Re: Ram Air III Engine
 Ok I think I am losing it. A 9792506 Engine casting number for a 69 GTO is a RA IV block which has 4 bolt mains and a 9790071 coded YZ is a RA III block with 2 bolt mains. I should have noticed how late the casting date was from the get go. A 9790071 is also a 68 HO block when coded YZ. Sorry for the confusion .

Re: Ram Air III Engine
Thanks guys. All the information I have, indicated that it was a RAIII engine. Some guy phoned me wanting to buy it but insisting that it was just a regular worthless engine. Don't you just love these guys.
