1969 Ram Air IV Pontiac GTO - Ram Air Resurrected

1969 Pontiac Ram Air IV GTO Engine View
The refreshed Ram Air IV engine retains the original WW-code block. Induction, ignition, and exhaust are all correct. Its Ram Air lower pan and lid are reproduction from Ames, but the upper pan and flapper doors are original. The only points taken off under the hood at the GTOAA Nationals in concours judging were for the upper radiator hose, for style, an antifreeze leak at the water neck, and a ding at the top of the radiator tank.
