I took this picture of that engine at Speedweek in 2016. Pretty sure it has an Edelbrock head here, but he told me he used to run RAIV heads until they got so expensive.

Definitely an E-Head at Speedweek 2016. Yes Roger used to run RAIV heads years ago. When I met him at Mission Raceway 20 some years ago he had a RAII head.

He did mention to me that he also drag-raced the car - he was very friendly and I enjoyed visiting with him. I was on the right side of the car and noticed it was a Pontiac engine - something you won't see much of at Bonneville. It wasn't until I walked over to get a closer look that I noticed half the engine was missing.
