Re: 1972 Trans Am 455 HO 4 spd w/ ac & pw on ebay
I worked at Hoffman Pontiac Maywood Ill. from 73 to 78 saw one sd 455 Formula 4spd. It was used and was like a pewter color w/red interior. Our factory rep bought it.

Didn't the SD455 Formula Firebirds come with the shaker hood? Or was it a combo of the Formula hood and the shaker?
I'd love to see a picture of an actual car.

[/ QUOTE ] SD Formulas have the shaker hood, similar to the Trans Am. A few years back there was a silver with red interior '74 SD on TraderOnline. I wish I had been smart enough to buy it. |

You gotta love the "Belted T/A's". I bet <font color="red">"GTO_DON" </font>has a few pairs.

I just found this listing on ebay. This is listed as the correct a/c bracket for the 455 HO engine. I have my doubts. Compare it to the attached photo which is the original bracket from my car. Note the cutout and the rolled edge for the heat riser tubing to pass over, which the ebay piece doesn't have. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/71-455-HO...1QQcmdZViewItem By the way, I just re-examined the photos of your car from the auction. It is also missing the front a/c bracket that attaches to the two front intake bolts. (This at least is a standard piece from all Pontiac V8s and is cheap) I can look around in my parts and see if I have one. [/ QUOTE ] Steve, When you get a chance let me know if you have a bracket. I picked up the car this weekend. It needs a few small cosmetics, but it runs like a champ. I also got a spare '72 455/4spd block, a set of rebuilt heads, a set of exhaust manifolds, and an aluminum intake(nice to have some spares). The 1100 mile round trip was tiring, but worth it. To top the week off, I sold one of my Challenger T/A's the first day it went up. Jim |
