He's gonna put a 70's/80's Bob Glidden Prostock motor together. I saw in another video he got one of Fast Eddie's (confirmed by Eddie) old PS blocks. Here's a pic of Bob's motor, you can definitely tell there is something going on on the intake where the welding was done on the one in the video. I think he has Bob's stuff.

I put one together in the late 90's. Unfortunately, I was not very bright in my choice of parts and knowledge of things like port velocity and valve overlap. I tried building it like I did my Windsor junk. Sounded incredible, but I still have the 3rd member with the spool and 5.13's

… You would be way better off with a set of Australian Cleveland heads… I can’t remember the sequence, but the 4V heads are small port open chamber…I think… The 2V heads are large port closed chamber… I think…the Australian heads are large port open chamber… something like that… but then there’s probably the cost of a set of Australian heads…

The 4v heads intake ports are damn near the size of a tennis ball. The aussie heads are a little bigger than 2v heads. I don't have the money for aussie heads and the 4v heads were free.

Shit, 20 years ago I had a "foreign exchange" program going with some guys in Sydney. BBC heads for Cleveland heads. We both had access to stuff...and both were using what the other wanted as doorstops

… I fully understand free… I used to be good at it… It’s been a long time since I sold my 70 Torino convertible with a Cleveland 2V in it… was always going to put a four barrell on it… Never got around to it…

That’s where he hid the nitrous.……

Rumor has it Bob Glidden, Lee Shepard and Warren Johnson were the only ones NOT running nitrous. We know for sure the Dodge boys and Jerry Eckman were.

Here is that guys racecar, sounds nice

Big ass cam

Rumor has it Bob Glidden, Lee Shepard and Warren Johnson were the only ones NOT running nitrous. We know for sure the Dodge boys and Jerry Eckman were.

The professor had a little "oops" in the pits, which sounded a whole lot like they cracked a line in a C02 system...followed up by the curtains being shut on the pits. That was roughly the same time Rusty plumbed a car...and shortly before the Wayne County boys had the mysterious break in where their blocks and heads were smashed with sledge hammers.

"Rumor" has it, motor plates could be rifle drilled to fit over holes drilled in the chassis, using a frame tube as a line, then bringing it up the plate. First systems were just a "fog" into the air stream ahead of the scoop or carbs. Stuff got better, passageways from the motor plates, through blocks, into heads or "special" intake gaskets. The ingenuity and effort was impressive. Yes, it was cheating, but it was still cool to hear and watch door slammers do that stuff.

It was kind of a joke. His kids though……I’m gonna drop this copied article section right here. Im a huge Glideen fan, not a Ford Racing fan though. I met the Gliddens once through Brad and Shelly Anderson. Bob was a phenomenal racer and really nice guy. Also, don’t forget about Jerry Eckman and his nitrous story.

From Super Stock Magazine - December 1995 Page 9

Glidden Admits Using Nitrous!

The war of words between perennial Pro Stock champion Bob Glidden and the National Hot Rod Association escalated at IRP over Labor Day Weekend when NHRA's most proflic drag racing champion reiterated accusations that some Pro Stock racers have resorted to the use of nitrous oxide to enhance their quarter-mile performance.
NHRA senior veep (that's how it was in the article) Graham Light categorically denied the accusations and proclaimed Glidden's charges "nonsense" and "fiction". But then one of the offending parties, Glidden's son Rusty, admitted on record that he did in fact use nitrous oxide in his Pro Stock Ford Probe , as did his brother BIll in another Probe.
The admission by Rusty Glidden was accompanied by a detailed explanation of how the nitrous oxide was hidden and plumbed in the car: "The holding tank was the big weight bar in the back of the car. The nitrous line went over the axle housing right up to the front of the car and stopped at the motor plate. The plate was riffle-drilled, and so was one of the tubes that held the hood scoop on. The nitrous went up through the top of the hood scoop to a small stainless steel line that went down through the top of the scoop with two .029-inch jets over the carburetors."
According to Rusty," There was improvement right off the bat. I went to Indy last year and didn't even qualify. I skipped the next race, then went to Topeka and qualified #7-coulda been #1- with an engine that three years ago wouldn't qualify." Rusty said the nitrous was worth an additional 90 horsepower and 120 ft-lbs of torque at 7000 rpm.
Bob Glidden explained how the nitrous system in his son's car was virtually detection-proof:" They had a combination of things to activate it so a tech guy couldn't walk up, turn on the ignition and open the throttle. You had to have the shock and computer switches on, the engine running, and be at full throttle."
"That's not fiction," Bob Glidden said. "Trust me."

Did somebody say Cleveland porn?

I may or may not know, or been involved with, somebody that may or may not have been in the boat racing world, That mounted a micro switch to the tunnel ram. It was wired to the MSD box, so at wide-open throttle it triggered a high-speed retard on the timing. Only issue Was, there was no copper in the wires leading to the switch.
