The "cool" factor of the RAV can't be overstated here. If the head casting quality and other build factors can be worked out, there will be a fairly decent sized group of buyers for these heads for their resto-mod Pontiacs and hot street cars who just want something different, PONTIAC and cool. They need to run great but out of the box, not an over the top performer to be a decent seller. I, for one consider these heads the one style I would be willing to cut up my original 68 400 Firebird for to fit a set. A friend of mine has a Cobra kit car with a tunnel port 427 FE, and you would not believe the attention that car gets everywhere he goes. It runs great too making a little over 700 HP. I think a cast intake would be a big advantage for people like me, but having to have one made is not a show stopper. Don has the history and the proven track record to make these heads great.
