Ram Air V dates
 
1 Attachment(s)
Do factory RAV heads have a date code?. I have a motor and could not find any codes although there may be a flat area between 2nd and 3rd port? Also, were factory heads only made late 69 and early 70?
Thank you

Make up what you want about there birth year.

I have never seen a RAV head with a date. All blocks and some of the four-barrel intakes have a date.

Thanks everybody. I found the person that built the motor and knows the internals. It belongs in a 1/4 mile car which is not me..

How many RA5 did they make? Are they still out there for sale from certain people or we talking extremely rare?

tom s 03-18-2025 09:52 PM

About 150 crate engines but lots of heads and intakes.Carbs,balancer and dizzys are rare.I think there is a NOS engine on EBay.Tom

Thanks Tom. Was thinking of getting one.

As Tom stated, all of the exterior components .......pulleys, 406 coils, exhaust manifolds, throttle bracket, idle solenoid, and bracket are nearly impossible to find.

What are the chances the date codes got machined off like the ram air IV did drilling head bolt holes?

It would be nice for the wow factor, but those heads you ported for me operate extremely well and runs excellent!
