these are the same engine. offered my 69 Judge clone for sale with/without the black version, fella chose without called me a week later wanting it. hes since had len Williams in Oklahoma build him an awesome 455. anyway the Pontiac blue version is the TA clone engine, mellowed out some. no headers, performer rpm intake, holley 1,000 cfm carb, smaller fuel line (to start with) and mechanical fuel pump. plan to mod it to fuel tank with built in electric pump later on. gotta save some fun for later..... out with the original rear, moser awaiting with new 4 leaf springs, global west subframe connectors. got a great black Friday deal from moser! plus they raised there prices after the first of the year, whew.
been applying decals as I go to decide what I want. the originals for a 72 are small, thinking I like the bigger versions for now but I dunno. that's the fun of a clone not trapped to originality. guilt free modern mod upgrades.
