RAV Trans am

[SamLBInj]

Wasnt this discussed about a year ago? There was no way to order a car with a RAV engine correct? this is from the Mecum Auction 1969 RAV Trans am
"Although it never became an official option, people with insider knowledge could have gotten a Ram Air V 400 for $2000 extra in their 1970 ½ Trans Am. It is believed about 20 of these engines were sold, but many made their way into GTOs and other Pontiacs, as well as being delivered by crate. As previously stated, GM Corporate Headquarters would eventually cave in to the pressure from safety conscious legislators and insurance companies. Thus the Ram Air V was deemed too powerful for street use and soon disappeared. The Ram Air 400 was designed with tunnel port heads, manifolding and a solid lifter cam. No one knows for sure but the 400 Ram Air V was reported to have had 500 hp."
