I believe it was white..I think his was a 74 or 75 though.. His brohter has a 78 arrow with a MRL 408 in it.. Says the car has never been quicker or more consistant then with this engine. So much so that he had to do some rear end work on it, lol.. I had MRL do my 440 for my 71 gtx I am building.. Street car 554.7 hp.. Kevin 71 gtx.....

Back in the late 80's at my local track there was a 70 or 71 Colt that ran in the Fast 8 class with a real 426 with a cross ram intake that carried the front wheels 4 feet in the air for about 60 ft. I think it ran low 5's in the 1/8. 8137737-CIMG0081.JPG (855 downloads) 1.33 60 ft,6.21 at 110.59 in the 1/8, pump gas small block,2950lbs,drag radials,mufflers and driven to track ...
