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

Haven't got it yet. I found this one last night with one other old mag on Ebay, so the price and demand hopefully won't be as heavy on the bidding. Ends in 7.5 hours.

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
