In the case of the Stephen Pontiac pro car , they would update the body every year to look like the next years model. But it was the same car .
They couldn’t do that with the 69 so when it carried over into 70 they just changed the paint scheme by lettering it different.

The 70 up body actually ran in the 71-73 seasons the car wasn’t delivered til late (half way through season) 70 and being in the north east the season was pretty much over by the time it got dialed in.

It seems the RAV engine was tested in my 69 because the car has two hoods with it one hood was cut for the dual quads. No one can remember for sure . Doesn’t help (the memory ) that all the cars were painted similar. Of course that’s what helped me get this car in the first place ..

Many probably don’t know it (even Pontiac guys) but the Ram air V engine was a very rare beast only given out to racers in most cases, the one I have was also topped by a RAV dual quad intake and carbs that only 4 racers got ahold of. (When I go to shows I get comments that it’s not even a Pontiac engine in there ) the last picture is of the exhaust gasket layout the ports aren’t in the normal Pontiac exhaust arrangement
The engine was mainly designed to be a contender in super stock , but was forced to run in pro because they never got installed in car bodies, do to a shortage of the A frame forged connecting rods.

The DS series of part numbers means developmental series or service. It shows up mainly in engineering test engines or parts not production parts
