Tom

Do you know if the RAV had a unique oil filter adapter in relation to the IV and the rest of the Pontiac adapters?

In this July 1969 Super Stock, it is claimed that this Judge is "the one" that was tested in Florida with the RAV motor. Take a close look at the two engine shots included within the article, take a close look at the shroud on page 35 and the sub frame on 70 and see what kind of car you think the engine shots are from. Notice also the extra webbing in the lifter valley which makes it a RAV block.

You may want to go here for more information as this was discussed earlier and some of the pics you are showing were either in mag's back in the day and in 1 case they were in a Pontiac book put out by Motion in Baldwin, NY. I think I sent someone (Jeff?) or Steved the pic's I have.

I have all those pics and more, but not from anyone in Yenko.

Keith... I also have engine shots. The Judge has what appears to be a 68 RAII motor; also if I'm not mistaken without my material in front of me, it is the one with the prototype Judge spoiler that isn't quite like production.

I have heard several people claim it is a Wangers conversion from a Limelight green regular 69. Does that fall in line with what you have been told?

I have three or four different sets of pics, different race sessions. The Judge in the set you posted definitely has a pic from the rear showing the prototype spoiler.

From another session; again with the blue car and prototype spoiler, an engine shot clearly shows what would turn out to be a RAII if the codes could be read.

Nothing of significance, just interesting how they swapped engines in and out of those cars like running water.
