In 1969, a group of MSU engineering students convinced Oldsmobile to give them a car for hands-on learning. Oldsmobile sent a former W31 Cutlass S test mule. They drag raced it!

It came with a 325hp 350 engine with Outside Air Induction, a Muncie 4-speed transmission, and a 5.00 Anti-Spin rear differential.

Most of the original Project W31 student engineers will be a the MCACN to share their stories in person for the very first time at MCACN 2018. This will be in conjunction with the Ram Rod/W31 Invitational display, and there will be a feature article in an upcoming edition of Muscle Car Review magazine.

There are 5 pages about it in the MSU Spartan Engineer article from October 1970.  http://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/olds-w31-cars.280731/#post-2454767

I posted a couple photos of it once before: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2015/04/university-of-michigan-w31-project.html but I didn't know a thing about it
