PS the RAV was a small displacement engine for Trans AM like the Z28. I don't think enough were built for it to be NHRA legal.
Agreed on both counts.
The RA2 did run good though so I couldnt rule that out - an over-factored RA2 that ran good even bumped up to B/SA=8.00.

In 1971, Fields' RA2 Bird set the D/S=8.50 record at
11.78 at 119.52
That was a stick car but even make it .2 and 2mph slower for an auto, it's still a winnable combo even up in B/SA=8.00 class of 1969.

That's just the only PONTIAC that even might fit.
If not, then I'm with oldskool, probably not a Pontiac at all.
