Cool article Mike, what ever happened to the car that you got with the article? And why won't you answer any emails?

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
 

Hi Dave sorry for not returning the e-mails. The car is in safe hands as I traded it for a car that I felt was more desirable... at least to me. The TA is in the hands of a collector and the article and paperwork you gave me went with the car. I scanned them in for my own future reference. Send me a pm with your phone number so that we can catch up. Best regards Mike https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

This October 1970 Hot Rod was brought to my attention over on the PY board because of the Hemi Pontiac motor on the cover, I'll post the article on that motor next.

But while looking through the magazine, the staff covered all the 71 cars coming out and evaluated them. Found an interesting mention on RAV.

In this July 1969 Super Stock, it is claimed that this Judge is "the one" that was tested in Florida with the RAV motor. Take a close look at the two engine shots included within the article, take a close look at the shroud on page 35 and the sub frame on 70 and see what kind of car you think the engine shots are from. Notice also the extra webbing in the lifter valley which makes it a RAV block.

Tom

Do you know if the RAV had a unique oil filter adapter in relation to the IV and the rest of the Pontiac adapters?

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
 

the only reason you would need a special adapter is for castiron exhaust.I would LOVE to know!LOL,Tom
