Very cool little car. I set a 440 in an stock chasss Arrow a few years ago just to see where everything would locate... downright ugly are the best words I can find to describe it. Small block is definitely the smarter move if you are thinking V8. Even with a 904, you still have to build a new trans tunnel, and mod the firewall for the distributor.

Heck I was going to put a hemi in the colt I tried to get but it was going to be a tube chassis... but the deal fell through on the car... Eric on the board here has a BB 440 in his Arrow

D-50 pro stock Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 1,267 North, Alabama	I have a 1980 D-50 truck with a 360 small block in it. I am pretty sure they have the same engine bay.They are both made by Mitsubishi. It has a fabbed trans tunnel and block hugger headers. I plan on bracket racing it this year,I went to test and tune last year to get the bugs worked out. It ran 7.55 at 90 with 1.56 60 ft. 5754560-Picture009.jpg (54 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 ...

B1Killer, I had one similat to the RJ one a few years ago. It was REAL tight with the huge tubs and how the cage was built, so I had to get rid of it. Cool car though. Dennis

Drivers side the 2 center tubes were modified and the rear tube goes thru the fenderwell and around the frame. al 5754982-DPP_0005.JPG (84 downloads)
