Re: 1972 Trans Am 455 HO 4 spd w/ ac & pw on ebay
I just found this listing on ebay. This is listed as the correct a/c bracket for the 455 HO engine. I have my doubts. Compare it to the attached photo which is the original bracket from my car. Note the cutout and the rolled edge for the heat riser tubing to pass over, which the ebay piece doesn't have.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/71-455-HO...1QQcmdZViewItem By the way, I just re-examined the photos of your car from the auction. It is also missing the front a/c bracket that attaches to the two front intake bolts. (This at least is a standard piece from all Pontiac V8s and is cheap) I can look around in my parts and see if I have one.

I picked up the car this weekend. It needs a few small cosmetics, but it runs like a champ. I also got a spare '72 455/4spd block, a set of rebuilt heads, a set of exhaust manifolds, and an aluminum intake(nice to have some spares). The 1100 mile round trip was tiring, but worth it. To top the week off, I sold one of my Challenger T/A's the first day it went up. Jim

Re: 1972 Trans Am 455 HO 4 spd w/ ac & pw on ebay
I looked through my parts and couldn't find one. Post some photos! If its a WD or a WM coded 4 speed block it is worth a bunch of $$$$ maybe $2500? for mint, standard bore example. The same goes for a set of 7F6 heads $2000? Original uncracked exhaust manifolds and a 72-only intake, $500 and $500? You just transformed a good purchase into a bargain.
