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 Last edited by turbo69bird; 01-27-2023 at 07:09 PM.

Idk why the larger pic of this pan won’t add but here’s a basic picture of grumps pan
Grump and Eckstrom shared some info but these pans are almost identical . Eckstrom Had ZERO other people running Pontiacs in pro stock to share info with he was the only one . https://youtu.be/RXVyW3WqPrI Video of the pro car in a pro stock parade .Wally booths car makes an appearance too I used to race against that car w the RAIV Stephens car in NETO so much fun .two really rare muscle cars doing what they were meant to do Last edited by turbo69bird; 01-28-2023 at 06:52 PM.

What if they are original dealer-owned/sponsored race cars that don’t need to be restored? I think you all know my answer to this one!!!

Appears to have started life as a 396 car but such a sweet car. A little More Deviation from stock, I’d presume being a SS Vs a stocker but still so cool!
