Is this a RAV block you have with the parallel reinforcement rib running along the pan rail?

Yep, those are the rods made in Michigan based on the Ford "A-Beam" design for the RA-V engines. 7.080" long.
The Carrillo Rods were a much better rod and lighter too. I have a couple of sets of those Carrillo Rods, as well as a set for a 11" Tall Deck Pontiac IA-2 Block. Believe that set is 7.230-7.240" in length. Tom V.

I have heard that in the past too Tom. That Mr Rod was involved.
Know where Mr Rod was supposed to be located, Tom? Tom V.

That would really help with my very limited knowledge of that company.
I do agree that they made the RA-V rods. Tom V.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
