As for the 535552 being "SD", I'm skeptical. But you need to understand that the whole subject of "Super Duty" nomenclature prior to 1962 is a pet peeve of mine.
Yep...aluminum 510 had heater nipple tapped....but the "so called" SD iron one did not..IIR..only difference I could find.
SD not around in 60 is a pet peeve of mine Jack ..
I firmly believe 60 was birth year for SD....maybe not for production runs..but for NASCAR & drag racing..I seem to remember that NHRA made the 510 intake legal for 60...but not legal for 61 model year..??
Next time I see Arnie I hope to ask him his opinion.......
