Ram Air III`s didn`t come out until `69.

Janne, he said in his response to you that it was a street car; probably not set up for class-legal drag racing.

Sorry Adam I just know it's a ram air car

As I recall the RA 1968 is called a 400 HO. Virtually the same specs as the RAIV. I have a neighbor that still has his 1 owner 1968 GTO HO. Extremely rare!

The HO and Ram Air 1 motors had D port heads and the Ram Air II motor had round port heads with the standard size intake port in `68.In` 69 the Ram Air IV motor was introduced with round port exhaust like the Ram Air II but with a taller intake port had the same cam as the Ram Air II but had 1.65 rockers.The 400 HO was called a Ram Air III in `69 and `70. So,no the Ram Air IV and HO motors do not have virtually the same specs.
