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.

Rare=valuable.

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

Yup. 80 would make it pretty rare.
Thanks for the info.

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