Weren't the SD blocks and motors made in conjunction with an outside source(Herb Adams I think), I can't remember the guys name. But wasn't the blocks set up for cam driven dry sump oiling and 4 bolt mains, Big rods, steel cranks and those wicked heads and intake? Rumor was they even painted them a different color of blue (Year One has a color called Super Duty Blue) so the emissions boys could tell the difference when testing. They were just "detuned" or smogged down from what I recall.

If you are looking to make the Shakers functional or they are tired and don't work properly, I found this web site. It may help you or who ever is redoing the shaker assemblies. Hope this helps:

Looks like a good solution that has a factory correct look. Thanks for sharing the pix of the collection and the Pontiacs.

Jim,I found this web page about 1973 Super Duty TAs.Its a pretty good read.

The Super Duty's were awesome cars. I have a close friend here that has the 2nd SD that rolled of the line. The first one I believe was a Green automatic car, his is a white 4spd car that is 100% all original. The motor has been freshend up but still remians factory original bore & specs. It has 92K miles on it. He bought it from the original owner. Extremely nice car.

Charlie, I didn't know you were into Pontiacs also. I didn't see any when I was there. I guess other than the Malitude I have yet another reason to come take a second look at your collection. :thumbsup:

Red SD I am redoing...slowly

Excellent find, Mike. That goes back a ways.

Nice one Mike- That is the one. That brings back memories of High School U.S. History class, and me drooling over that image.
Clill- Updating the Red Witch eh? Sounds interesting. I know you'll never sell that car, but if you ever do, I want on the list.

No we are not doing twin turbos before anyone asks..Bigger crank, different intake and a general updating. The car is 10 years old. Car will look the same from the outside.....And getting rid of the dent in the fuel cell and right muffler from one of Marks off track excursions during One Lap.
