RAIV and RAV more continuation....

[tjs44]

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:
