73 sd birds


Hey all, remember we had the discussion a few months ago that they built sd ta's in 1973, and a few of you shot me down? 73 t/a 455 sd auto with ac 1 0f 252, and a 73 455 sd formula 1 of 43 no $$ but here is the link cbjeep.com or e mail at dennis@cbjeep.com  I hate it when I'm right.biggrin Still trying to negotiate the 73 sd clutch car for my stable that I posted a few months ago.

I honestly don't recall this contoversy. I think I posted the some 73 SD cars at one point. Engines were rated at 310 net HP in 73 I believe, 290 net HP in 74.

I can not find the original topic. Can anyone else?

I always thought the SD head in 73 was a 16. What did they use?

I went to the McCarthy Pontiac bible this morning,  yes , the 16 head was used , and XD is correct for a 455 SD auto.  also should be  4 bolt main cap.

carb # should be 7043270

very interesting car,

no SD where released to the public prior to April 1973.

info on Classical Pontiac I qouted above is misleading ( dare I say worng ?)
