No problem, I'm glad it will work for ya. I do all the wrenching on my car in his garage, he's got a pretty nice garage & after seeing that motor sit there for so long, it feels really good to know it will be put to good use.Originally posted by tenpin842 View PostYeah were picking it up on Sunday.

According to the NPD Catalogue Here check out the ornament section.http://www.npdlink.com/modules.php?n...&func=download The first one looks like a for a 72-75 emblem.Originally posted by tenpin842 View PostNot sure. Its a 1972 car.
I guess it would be a 455 HO
Not sure where the badges go.....I'll have to look in the book we have.

The engine codes for 72 455s are as follows (if it's out of a Catalina, it's not a HO...the biggest available motor for the Catalina was the 250 hp version):
185 hp - YH, YW
200 hp - ZH
220 hp - YA, YC, Y4
250 hp - YD, YK
300 hp - WD, WM, YB, YE (WD and WM were manual trans motors)Originally posted by Redd8407I WANT NOISE! SPEED! AN ENGINE THAT SHAKES MY INTERNAL ORGANS LIKE THEY GOT PARKINSON'S!
