OK........

So, to answer the questions / comments posed......

1) TURBO69BIRD

I've had the following parts for the last 30+ years and am totally bent & determined to make a go of them.

RAV 303 HEADS
RAV 400 INTAKE
RAV 400 BLOCK
RAV 400 CRANK
ROSS PISTONS
CALLIES RODS
CUSTOM GROUND COMP CAM

2) 25STEVEM

Next stop is to call Butler. To be honest I thought I would try here first, but they did build my short block.

3) LEE

I don't actually have the Comp Cams rockers in hand yet, but rather those are the ones that I was seriously contemplating buying them from Butler for this build.

4) TOM S

As mentioned above.... Original 303 heads.

That is a very cool, old school build with PMD iron.
Gotta respect it and good luck with the whole effort.

On the one hand I love the build I have a RAV in my car, but at the same time I kinda sweat it every time I run it even if just easy because I dint want to ruin rare parts.
On the other it’s nice for people to be bake to see the parts in action and how they ran. But w aftermarket’s available I’d probably run aftermarket if I was gonna run it hard

If really going to race it I would get a McCarty single plane intake.The factory dual plane intake will be the choke point of the heads.Tom
