One of my all time favorites. Carroll Caudle's M/P Bel Air hardtop from Amarillo, TX. Screamin' 310" mouse and a 4-speed. He got this thing to run 11.50 @ 115 in 1970. All steel, full interior. F----- incredible.

That's pretty stout for a small engine.
What did these cars weigh?

 

[Don Jacks]

Quite a bit.Under M/P rules,the cars had to maintain full interior,much the same as Stock/Super Stock.Full bumpers,the whole 9 yards.

The M/P class was Cu. In. to Weight wasn't it?

 

[oldskydog]

And he did it without cutting out the rear wheel wells!

 

[Don Jacks]

Yes Shawn,it was cu.in./weight. Cecil,cutting the wheel wells was not allowed in the M/P classes,the bodys had to maintain production appearance.You could do about anything to the power train as long as it was normally aspirated.
