Still, they put 66cc #12 heads on the second top dog 1970!
It wasn´t compression alone that made the RAIV faster than the RAIII either year.
Agree and that still doesn't make sense. If one ordered the right options on a RA III it would hold its own against a poorly optioned RAIV.

By chance would you know if both engines used the same head gaskets or know the GM part numbers for them?
