I'd have to correct him on something in his ad though. He has the features of the SD-455 as:

Reinforced Main Bearing Webs
Four Bolt Iron Bearing Caps
Forged Rods
Forged Aluminum Pistons
Super Highlift Camshaft
Round Port Heads that were a &quot;Work of Art&quot;
Provisions for a Dry Sump Oil System

All true, except for the &quot;Super Highlift Camshaft&quot;. The SD-455 used a .407 lift cam, 301/313 duration, necessary for strict 1973 emission regulations. With the original 041 camshaft (.470 lift, 308/320) that the engine was designed for, the SD-455 cars ran mid-13's, even with their pathetic 8.4 to 1 compression ratio, horrendous EGR intake manifold, and strangulating exhaust system.
