Hey Sixties...shut up will ya ! Olered there was a 62 SD GP in Arizona a while back...it's probably restored by now...Allan G. was the owner...he used to live in my neck of the woods...pretty sure it was a steel car.The Pete McCarthy book mentioned somewhere in this thread is a great Pontiac HP book....I used to look in on some of the Pontiac boards (Ames) until it got really nasty..some of those guys got pretty foul about certain engine builders etc...I think they had to close down the board or change it to try and keep it civil.

-----Thanks Belair.Years ago I was at a match race at Milan with Red Alert.I was supposed to be racing Porterfeild but he broke.A black 62 GP showed up for the show with a gold inset and Royal emblems as well as 421 emblems on it.I never got a chance to get close to the car that day,or talk to the owner.I sure wish I had.Other Pontiac people from the greater Detroit area have since mentioned the car in passing as a SD Grand Prix.Unfortunatly,I have never seen the car again........Bill S

Belair, The 62 in question from Chicago is the one is AZ. Allen moved a few years ago. Car has been restored for at least 8 years or so now by Scott Tiemann. Its all steel.

Steve, I have to admit that the "WY" stamping looks pretty bad if it was done by the factory. The casting # is for a 1970 400 block. But I'm not an expert on stampings so I'll keep an open mind. The fact that there is no VIN on the block will definitely hurt the chances of ever proving it was installed in the car originally. What's the casting date on the block?

Jeff

I've seen one of the over the counter blocks in real life, it had the big numbers above where the code would be but no code. A very interesting block with all the extra webbing.

Will see if he will shoot the casting number, I'm still very interested to see if the flywheel has a GM number on it.

I did find a couple of pictures of some Pontiac engine code stampings on the web and they looked similar in the fact that the "W" was stamped lighter and the second letter was stamped heavier. But they seem to line up with each other.

If the "WY" were hand stamped in engineering, that would explain the lack of alignment. I don't know anything about how and why codes were stamped on engines, so I couldn't address this.
