I didn’t catch the comment at first lol "That a-team van has more power, the little car just had better handling. You could tell the guy was throwing the race when he didn’t smoke that little bastard a the beginning" I wonder if that guy owns a domestic or import? ---

Most info seems to mention that it was a 350 with next to no mods done to it. Wouldn’t really matter because the engines were so choked off back then. ---

there were 6 different a-team vans regularly used in the seasons. 4 of them were jump vehicles with cages round headlights and 350s. the 2 “official” vans, had all the interior work, and originally had a 350 in the first 2 seasons, it was then upgraded to a 454 so that they didnt have to speed up the tapes to make it appear to slide around corners and pick back up speed with ease. ---
