Go stock, put some JW's on it.

Other than the shaker decals, don't let anybody know what lies beneath!

i had scott make those decals in white and black.the white ones for the shaker,the black ones might go on the fenders under the trans am decals.he made me 3 of each,if i dont like the black ones on the fenders,i can take them back off.still waiting for the right pistons,but also did some trading for a ds 303 intake with spacers.block and intake are ds parts,heads have no markings on them-no 4 or 44 anywhere on them.a ds engine.this is about as cool as it gets,in my eyes.

a buddy of mine,i know its hard to believe i have any,just gave me a hpp magazine from june of 1997.they call this block a SEVAKIS ALUMINUM 455.the precurser to the 73-74 455 sd block.limited numbers made in 72 and early 73.date code on mine is A072.dry sump provision just like a sd block.when the article was printed,they had found just 3 of these blocks.cast for gm by by REYNOLDS ALUMINUM.machine work for gm was done at SEVAKIS in detroit.my block never made it to the machining stage.the article is about 4 pages on aluminum pontiac blocks.pretty cool stuff.
