What year Nova?.
The only CRD suffix in an X-body appears to be a 1975...obviously a SB?.
Are you sure the build sheet is denoting the suffix?.


Sorry for the thread hijack..

I see CRD as a suffix for a 1972 Camaro 350/165HP TH350 Camaro w/SMOG.

bill.....where are you ????

[PeteLeathersac]

I saw the F & H body listings too but only listed the X-body one..

To futher hijack this thread w/ more hard to find #'s, anywone know what a 3832442 crank is from?. Yes the # is correct and not a 3932442..


Back to '71 Kingswoods, as an apprentice I had to work on a '71 Kingswood once that was a funeral home hearse.. The rear window wasn't retracting into the roof straight and I had to lie in the back to remove the headliner and work on the problem.. I fixed the car but ever since have had a strong dislike for laying in the back of hearses also the lily of the valley fragrance that was in the car and often used in funeral homes...forever after known as the funeral fragrance!.

The CPD code is for a 365 Hp 71 454 LS-5 used in the Chevelle SS454 , Monte Carlo, Elcamino and the Impala line for 1971 model year and carried over into a part of the 72 production until some point when it was changed to CRW. Back to the wagon its Absolutely the original born with engine, I have the build sheet and the trim plate reads LS-5. My almost new casio camera quit, I will post picts shortly. . Had a blast with it at Carlisle, anyone care to chime in on some of the stories of the Wallyworld wagon. Yes the clamshell tailgate and rear window work perfect!!!!
