The guy that bought that 63 SD tempest on Ebay last year, was into this Ram Air V stuff also. I would almost bet he is watching these auctions. Cool stuff, but I don't really understand why it is so valuable.

How rare? Did they make 100 sets of heads? 1,000? How many of the motors were built?

From Pontiac Musclecar Performance 1955-1979 Edited by Pete McCarthy page 208: "Some experts guess that some eighty complete Ram Air V 400 engines were crated and sold to private buyers."

These motors made a ton of horsepower for their day. I have only seen one of these motors running in a car. Very Cool.
