Comments: Wow, an honest to goodness authentic 494!....  At least that's what the hood says....    Hey, you don't suppose somebody was trying to pull a fast one on us here do you...  Looks like a little psychological pitside strategy...  Well whatever was really under the hood, it was probably real fast and at this point, real clean!

01/01/04 3-Wide I heard that Bobby Thomas from IROC knows how they came up with a 494 back in those days" -  maybe he'll write and tell us the story. 
02/10/04 Jerry I remember Jim having 494 on a few of his hoods.  Wasn't he sponsered by Mullaney Tires for years along with Jack Ely who also ran Wall?
