Also if you look at the cylinder heads their was some holes that have been plugged .
Also the block number stamped on the pad is 490132 but the block is stamped 212 not the usual 132 that we are used to seeing. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk |

Thanks for all the pics!
That intake with the EGR setup made in 1971 is cool. They knew back then they would need the EGR setup. Edit: This was in a 1973 GA so needed the EGR manifold.

Thanks for sharing the story on this! This has to be one of the coolest finds in a long time. I'm really surprised that the engine survived being that it was cast so early before the actual production of SD's began

The article above is from the October 1972 issue of Motor Trend magazine. Michael's Super Duty Trans Am (magazine test car) wasn't built until December 1972. The recently-discovered Super Duty Grand Am was built in mid-September 1972. While at first it may seem plausible, publishing lead times were at least 2 months out back then, so it's impossible that the recently-discovered Grand Am was that shown in the Motor Trend article. Furthermore, I can confirm that the images above were taken at Pontiac's 1972 Long Lead Press Preview held at GM's Milford Proving Ground in late-June 1972. The photos still exist in Motor Trend's photo archive and possess a development date of July 1972. Both of these cars along with a number of other Super Duty 455-powered engineering mules were available for magazine writers to test drive. It was at this same event that High Performance Cars magazine awarded the 1973 Super Duty GTO is Car Of The Year award. |

Glad you set it straight Rocky.
They do look similar. You always spot the details. |
