The SD Formula cars did not have Formula twin scoop hoods.
They had TA Hood and Shaker .

Be as proactive as you can and verify all things for yourself regarding the engine.
It is not difficult at all.
No reason to rely on an appraisers estimation.

I'd agree with BVZ.
Especially if the 'appraiser' is not a Pontiac guy.

The SD Birds are quite rare and PHS is one of the only way to know for sure if it is real.

A lot of Birds have had SD engines installed in them. (I have done it for racing purposes)

The partial VIN on the engine block will also tell a lot.

GangGreen , I am going to start a new thread titled "73 Formula 455 GangGreen" for your car and this discussion.

Will post illustrative pictures there that will make it very easy for you to personally document your engine components.
