I’ll post a couple pics of the cars that started the discussion between a friend and I , 69 bird is mine .
But I have the pro stock cars engine in it currently, dual quad RAV. Know both drivers and grew up near the originals dealership.
Black car was sponsored by them but not owned by them the rest were special ordered through Tom nell and owned and raced by the dealership . There’s a Jan article about the pro car that discusses its back door access to parts (specifically an aluminum block) that really set off a firestorm at GM and resulted in the end of the Stephen Pontiac racing program. This was because of the racing ban
Engine pics RAV pic from magazine
RAV dual quad w developmental engineering part number 4 known to exist.
And the engine in the car today just a fun pic I took when checking hood clearance. That engine was tested / tuned in this car temporarily, because the 70 car was delayed.
Article stated aluminumtray was homemade but grumpy and Bill had then exact same tray . 4 hole under the carbs but there’s NO tool marks holes are perfectly punched in correct locations
For some reason I can’t attach the pics of te two pans his and grumps. Tried 5 times. Z
