I forgot to mention that the Ram Air IV and 455 HO`s had aluminum intakes.

I think he is looking for an active stock or super stock firebird that will run the numbers.

The first fast street car I ever rode in was a 1968 Firebird 400 convertible with a six-pack, 411 gear and a four-speed. I was sixteen at the time and had never been over 60 mph riding with my parents. My friend who was nineteen, took me for a ride in it. He went out to a country road that had about a half mile straight in it and comes to a stop. Then he proceeded to rev up the engine and go through the gears til we hit a 110 mph. I had never felt anything like that before. When we got back to the house, my knees were shaking as I got out of the car. I know I got off topic a little but the post reminded me of this experience.

I had a '69 GTO RAIV / 4-speed / 4.33 car not long ago. I only owned it briefly as I sent it to the BJ auction. It was completely stock. I sure gained a TON of respect for the Pontiac RAIV with my "exhibition runs". I would love to own a '69 Firebird with the same drive train. Yea, I know how rare they are and how much you must pay for one (if you can find one), even a 3.90 rear gear would be a hoot. That would be a keeper!

In 67 I bought a new GTO with the 400HO motor, 4 speed and 390 gears rated at 360hp. The ram air motor had the same HP rating at 360 but had a wilder cam plus the ram air. I cant recall if they just called it the ram air or ram air 1 I believe except for the cam they were identical but could be wrong

Six-Pack is not a term Pontiac ever used.They called it a Tri-Power and they did not offer that option after 1966. Firebirds never had Tri-Powers stock. The last year was 1966 on GTO's and full size cars.....
