In the parking lot at Home Depot with my little friend picking up some lumber, this time with white factory steel wheels, chrome hubcaps and black walls.

Headed for a ride in the 70.
 Hopping into a 50 year old car with a 50 year old leather jacket and 50 year old watch ....

Do you really think it's numbers matching all original?"

No, it is not a real RAIV. It was born a RAIII automatic combination. Short story is the original owner was a 17 yr. old senior in high school. He raced it and blew up the bottom end of the RAIII within the warranty period. A service replacement block (still in car) was put in. It is a 4-bolt main RA block. The car was sold to the person I bought the car from in March, 2015. I purchased the car in February, 2016. During the period the second owner had the car it was changed over to a 4 speed. The engine was rebuilt and RAIV heads were put on. After I purchased the car, with less than 100 miles on the rebuild, the engine was pulled and had to be rebuilt. Let’s just say corners were cut and the parts used were cheap. What I have now is really as close to the stillborn LS1 Super Duty Ram Air that I can get. The big item that is missing is a RAV block. However, I have the next best thing which is a service replacement RA block. The rotating assembly is completely forged. The engine has a .30 overbore and we added a 427 stroker kit. Equals 433CID Last item is the 4 speed was nothing more than a core. Replaced it with a T-56. Last edited by napster; 05-05-2020 at 05:53 PM. |

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.
