Bridgehampton Grand Prix - 1966 #4 with Bruce McLaren 3rd overal; Grid: 3rd (1:33.4)
Engine Chevy / Traco V8 ohv 5882cc 525 hp at 7000 rpm Lucas FI Hewland LG 500 Transmission with 4 Gears 590kg 3 works built.
After being behind the Chevy-powered Lola T-70s with his "McLaren-Elva Mk.1" and Oldsmobile powered "McLaren M1B" Bruce McLaren finally abandoned the lightweight aluminum Oldsmobile V-8 and introduced a new M1B with a Chevrolet engine also prepared by Traco, the McLaren-Elva Mk 2/McLaren M1B in September 1966.
Still using a tube-frame chassis, the M1B was designed around a Chevy engine, but a Ford or an Olds engine could also be installed. The new body design pratically eliminated the front-end lift that had plagued the M1A.
