Was this with the 326, RAV, tunnel ram? Referenced here: https://www.maniacmechanic.com/h-o-r...v-race-engine/
I thought there was a thread here that talked about it. Someone asking about using a big block Mopar tunnel ram on a Pontiac. Something like that... |

Yes that car. Unable to extract those photos. Only see a crazy high HP dyno estimation and pick of a head. But yes.

There's a black white pic somewhere of it painted with tunnel ram scoop waiting in the staging lanes. Maybe in one the H O racing newsletters. I'll have to look. I witnessed a good friend Jim Miller cutting up a small block Chevy tunnel ram to fit RA IV heads. Intake was going on a 303 back before 1973. Phil Cralle was the owner. He took intake to work and had it welded. First car was a 61 Ventura with aluminium bumpers later 70 Firebird. Named Loose Papoose. I never saw it run. Phil told me 9k was there. He said 3rd gear always hung up at those rpms.

Mopar reference. On the second version of the TR, we used a weiand plenum as it had the correct pass. side forward orientation like the Pontiac. The weiand plenum was also close to the length needed. The second TR used the TR-1Y runners which were slightly larger than the TR-1 runners.

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.
