Link is for the last ram air v video at the throttlestop.

I built and sold them the 2 front engines!Tom

Great video.

Very good video! I learned a few things...

Wonder who has the Factory Aluminum block RamV head engine that Greg built , now ?

Tom and Gregsgtos brought us some really unique V stuff on here.

Thanks for posting the link to the video. I enjoyed watching it and learning a few new details as well. I have been fortunate to have my hands on a few Ram Air V blocks and a set of Ram Air V heads on the flow bench. It's hard to put into words how much of a game changer that engine would have been as a production piece and it was so close!! Those heads had air flow so far above anything Pontiac had ever produced, they just completely blew the door wide open and then off the hinges! They are the only production based heads I have ever had on the flow bench that just continue to flow more and more air until the retainer hits the top of the valve guide. They never go into tumble or stop flowing. That said, the camshafts of the day and the small displacement could never take advantage of the heads potential. The blocks fixed virtually every weak link in the regular production pieces, with the possible exception of the main oil gallery. Possibly the greatest "what if" story in American engine history.

As I have witnessed.big ci RAV in that 69 GTO dirt car came off turn 2on the inside and just ran away from those 454 Chevies! Don the driver was at turn 3 before those Chevies were half way down the straight. Of course chassis had to be right. Cam right. Small journal Pontiac 400 block Class was semi late 2bbl with 400 ci in limit. I did trade Jim a WW- IV block. Jim Miller who built the engine knew the chevies were 454s. Man was that a night to remember. Mopar guys when I was young saying Pontiacs dont run.
