You used to see them in SCCA ITB competition, too. I believe the Fire Arrow had the biggest engine in the class.

Didn't they have a 2.4 or 2.6?

2.6. I believe it was the same motor used in the caravans at one point. Back when Hyundai had a thing going with Mitsubishi they had their own version of the Arrow. I raced one for a few years, it was very capable

They had a 2.6 motor. My brother had a D50 sport mini pickup and they used the same engine.

There are still a few Mayflowers floating around the NY/Philadelphia corridor, all in need of engines. If I spot one do you want?

Twenty years ago I'd probably go for it, but I have too many cars and not enough flexibility to crawl around them any more!  I always thought that this combination would have made a great sleeper for a Triumph adict, though.  I used up a lot of my creative energy restoring and re-engining my Jamaican MGA, which is a similar concept but using a 3.4 GM V6 drivetrain.

One popped up on Enablers on book of faces actually if you really wanted ( even though it sounds like you don't).

I was at my local metal distributor recently and he had a clapped-out early HMMWV sitting there.  I suddenly had the thought of turning it into a road course racer.
