Stephen Pontiac's Ram Air V engine
A few of you from the Northeast might remember Stephen Pontiac's race cars. A friend of mine purchased the Ram Air V from their 1970 Firebird race car back in the mid 70's. It changed hands a couple of times. Another friend picked it up 10 years ago and has it ready to drop in his 69 Trans Am street car. I watched a few of the dyno pulls but I had to leave before the final runs. They gave it more timing and it topped out at 630. He felt there was still more left. I don't have all the engine specs but I know it has stock ports heads, stroker crank and a solid roller cam. It still has the factory magnesium 2x4 intake that it was raced with only without the 2" spacers. It's a real shame in 1970 Pontiac didn't put these heads on a 455. Muscle car history would be different.
