RAIV and RAV more continuation....

[Steve_Hoog]

Here are the exhaust Tom refers to, for the F body. Tom, I think Lance or some one has a set of A (maybe more?). Pic possible because of Andy and Musclecar Review, because I sure don't have a set in real life.

I have a set on my T/A,they are made for the 303 short deck block,the oil filter does not have a adapter,it screws onto the side of the block.Tom

Tom

The aluminum block is 303? For some reason I thought it was 400, my memory is floating away!!!

What are these manifolds?

I pulled the alu RA V from the car and replaced it with a complete 303 short deck SCCA motor.The new HPP mag should have a article on it.The Hot Rod mag cover is a complete 400 motor.Notice the oil filter is setup like a long branch motor.The 303 block has the filter screwing into the block from the side.

Yes now I remember you telling me about the swap, my bad.

So are the manifolds on the Hot Rod cover the A body? My copy is at home, so I can't see what it says about them right now.

[tjs44]

not sure if those are A body.There were a few diff designs which are shown in Petes book.A A body set was on a engine sold by John Glasco a few month ago if I recall.As I recall if you parted the engine out the exhaust manifolds sold for the $18000 range.Maybe he can confirm.Tom

There was a local guy here in Tulsa from the 70's and 80's that ran regular in a car called Judgement Day, he was my idol. His name is Terry Drenner and he is going to give me so very cool stuff on his car. I will also have it on our EMPGMC race page ASAP. Here is what I have so far:

RAV Exhaust Manifold Tally Sheet, who has a set.

303 F type:
1. Tom

3. Lance
4. Ramair Restorations

400 F long branch:
1. For sure but don't know who has them (photographed in 69 Hot Rod and Pete's book)

Probably more out there, wouldn't be surprised that George Delorean would have some and several other people in the Michigan area.

[Steve_Hoog]

You tell me what pieces Kevin Yash and Pete McCarthy (or who has the stuff he photographed) have and how many to look for and I'll see what I can come up with.
