same deal with my sd, rusted valley pan--prior owner thought he'd blown the head gasket---no drain hose on the shaker and it would collect water, then suck it in when running = milkshake. i'm assuming a full teardown is coming, pics, pics, pics! ;~)

Are 455 SD main caps any different than other 4 bolt caps ? I read they are of a somewhat harder material but is there a way to identify them with let's say a casting number or something else ? Thanks. Frank.

The forum was slipping down there a bit, so an update was in order ;~)
Posted this up in the suspension forum, but I gave the old girl a spring-ectomy and knocked a 1/2 coil off the fronts ...along with new control arm bushings, ball joints, tires and resetting the Konis to full stiff.
Before & After pics.
Now she's really begging me to get on with the body & paint work again. The primer's going on 10 years and will have to be taken nearly all the way down ... Anyone has an NOS pass. quarter--for less than a billion dollars??? lol ....

Anyone know anything about this silver 73 SD Formula? It's in the SD registry.

I made a post in the 74 up forum, also.

I'm looking for either Hawk397 or the person he sold his 1974 SD TA to.
The person who bought it from him was from MI I believe.

The original owner is wanting to talk to the current owner of the car.

I don't think so.

The original owner has some interesting info about the car, and it's shipping overseas. (and back here again)

Yeap, thats cool! Nothing like a good story to go along with a new car. Its nice of the seller to include or pass down the history to stay with the car.

A hairy hose? A 4-speed? Exhaust that does not hang down so low from the manifolds?

Nice car though!

One would have to redo a lot under the hood.

Lot of options added. Would look unique the way it came with vinyl roof and no spoiler or chrome trim. I agree the price seems very good even with an SR block. I would sure love to have it. I wonder if it was ordered by a CA buyer who couldn't get one in his home state.

Do I see an aftermarket intake in that engine pic? That boss pointing up doesn't look correct.
