I could be wrong but the engine with no air cleaner does not look like the Ram Air IV engine from the previous test and it does not look like the engine with the prototype Ram Air IV air cleaner. It does not have the vacuum thermal switch next to the thermostat housing like the engine with the prototype air cleaner. You can see this thermal switch in both articles with the engine with the prototype air cleaner. The Ram Air IV engine in the blue and white car as a hex plug in place of the thermal switch. This engine has something else here. Hard to tell what it is. It is hard to tell from the scan but it appears to have a 1 piece intake manifold. Is it a Ram Air II engine? The engine does not seem to the engine of either GTO used in the Super Stock magazine article.
