I was with PB at the covention looking at some sweet original owner 72 455 HO cars, and base my thoughts on those cars and other survivor cars...

Looking for information on 1972 Firebird 455HO Norwood produced cars only.

Did all the 1972 455HO engines for ALL bodies come off the same production line/same plant?

F-bodies Norwood only. GTO/LeMans-different plants.

Thoughts?

Trick question. Since only Norwood was building F bodies in 1972 :-)

Where were the 455 HO engines manufactured?

Not sure what you are wanting?

All Pontiac engines came from the engine plant, which were then shipped to the individual car plants.

In 72 I don't think the engine codes were specific to a model.
(Like for Firebird only or GTO only, but were for either Firebird or GTO)

In 1973 there were specific engine codes for just the Firebird line, plus other years were like that.

You've still got that relic? When are you going to cut it loose so that someone can show it some love and attention?
