Yellow 2 dr sedan.....N/SA and a 350/255

Many very successful racers jumped on that engine combo....

No way it was 40 hp lower than a 10-1 engine.....and they knew it....

It became one of the most popular engine combos in Stock and SS for years and years and won many many races.....

They must have made a lot of 441 heads cause they are still out there and were only used for 1 year on 350's....

They did put them on some 1970 cars including some 400's IIRC but with different exhaust valves and steam holes......I think !

This car was originally owned by Bob LaSala.
He ran it with the 300hp engine in J/SA.

Had a hard time making it run the index until Woodro built the engine.
