Rod Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The ram air V Pontiac.... they developed this and had it ready for a couple production engines and several race ones as well. They managed to assemble several 303’s and 100-200 400’s for production cars in 69-70 before corporate GM caught wind of it and said no way... the 400 RAV made more power than the 426 hemi because GM were fags they never made it out the door as a production car. The assembled engines and parts made it out to racers as an over the counter option and some of the 400’s made it into cars being dealer installed. Pretty cool. in 1970 they had the 455 but it had a generic Pontiac too end because they had nothing ready at that point. 71-72 they had the 455 HO which was basically a 455 with a 400 ram air 4 top end on it. Not a bad piece at the time in 73 Pontiac got a little niggardly again and put out the SD 455. Pretty much wasted anything else available at the time. Too bad being faster than the vette sealed its demise and had to be cancelled after 74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awful knawful Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I'm sure they all had engines more powerful than the hemi. None were production. Hem, the elephant, is a legend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hem, the elephant, is a legend! The Pontiac was supposed to be though and was ready for install. ford had the 427 cammer too but ford pretended it was a production engine and got caught lying about it and that’s why it got banned from nascar. It would have never lasted on the street because it was a strictly race engine Edited January 21, 2018 by Rod Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many were produced? Available in everyday car? That's why the hemi is king. For a few bucks you could get it in lots of different models.

Ford said there was, dropped one or maybe two in to parade around and try to con nascar into thinking it was a production model when it wasn’t. You couldn’t buy one if you tried and didn’t hit production criteria at all. They got caught and subsequently banned. Ford has a long history of being very shady with sanctioning bodies Edited January 22, 2018 by Rod Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
