Per the audio commentary on the DVD he would have won the race if the transmission hadn't have given out in the desert just after entering California.

Needham said it was a Hemi in the production commentary, but in his book on the races, Yates himself said it was a 440 Wedge. The latter makes more sense: The van had a 383 originally, and a 440 would have bolted right in. Installing a Hemi (which uses a different block) would have taken a mess of custom work. -- Last edit: 2007-10-13 19:41:25
