- Back To Beach Performance:
This video shows a Sneak Peek of a 1974 Pro Stock Mustang ll, that is powered by a Ford 351 Cleveland. It was built from a body in white, and raced in The Pro Stock Class, circa 1974. The story goes, it was raced, and then put into a garage, and never hit the track again. The mustang fires up without issue, but no time when I was there... Next time I go and check it out, will have a vid of the nasty 351 Cleveland.
I went back to Beach Performance, and we fired up the Latham Axial supercharged Chevy 327, man talk bout supercharger whine, Holy Mackerel , made me jump. I have never heard a blower whine like that. This supercharger set up is an axial design, like a jet engine, without the combustion chamber, as per Bob Beach. This set up was developed, and sold in 1959, and made to install under hood of the 1959 Chevrolet Corvette. He said the original 327 made 300 hp, just by adding this Latham Supercharger kit with 2 four barrel carbs, added 100hp. Can you imagine, pulling up next to some one at a light with this whining monster, Hang the Hell on. The 327 is pretty mild, build, 10.5:1, small 220 duration cam, no other specs. They also made superchargers for Ford 312, and Chrysler 392 Hemi. Stay tuned for more on the racing history of these Latham Super Chargers, and one for a hemi.

For those who haven't heard of a Latham Axial SC before. It's basically like a belt driven turbine in housing in concept. Fun fact, there are a few different types of units and some can not be serviced at all or parts to be found. The sound of these things is basically an unheard first time eargasm
Yes, I’ve never heard of one before, but now I know all about them. Great history cool set up, thanks for educating everyone here.
Wow, defiantly responsive for something thats been sitting around. Look forward to hearing Bobs stories and that Mustang running.
Always nice hearing a peace of history running!!
It sure is since I put it in the video I wanted to hear it run in man it’s very cool I love that whine woo
What a top bloke and very sweet of him fireing up this wining beast, pretty cool having a second one of these blowers on a home made manifold in the background
I think that was for a hemi. Bob is one of the best. Yes real history right there.
Regardless of the manufacturer, gotta give credit when it’s due. I’M IMPRESSED 👍
💯👌🏼 unique little chevy 🏁
Right on my friend you know exactly what and how I think.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland … I’ve often heard that great minds think alike. It’s simply a matter of getting on the same wavelength, my friend. Are you receiving me…?
@@danielwilson6665 i am…..loud n clear 🏁
Hell yeah, brother. I still have to reply to that text, it’s just hard to keep up with all the comments on the emails so bear with me I have a lot to say.
Bad ass!!
If that was in a car, you would hear that blower whine before the exhaust tunes!!
Nice work Tim!! I just know he is enjoying showing his engine off!!😁😁👍👍👍
Thank you, Rick he sure is, we’ve already talked about more videos, like we say, there’s not many guys like this around, their history needs to be recorded, and I’m gonna be the Mark twain to do it. Wait until tonight‘s video more show and tell glad you’re here.
Thanks!, Glad to hear it run! I've only seen 2 in my lifetime, first time I've heard one running! Whining
Thank you John for your contributions to DragBoss Garage. Every little bit helps to keep this channel going in as I say it all goes into DragBoss Garage Kitty. but I also appreciate your friendship, your caring, your honesty, intelligence, and information. All key factors for DragBoss garage because it’s not Chester engine and racing channel. It’s a channel from my heart and soul. It’s a quest a journey through racing history something I want to record for future generations, because it seems to be getting lost. again my family and I thank you for your contribution in all aspects. Always learning something new or DragBoss garage. Stay tuned for tonight‘s episode more blower fun.
That is one very wise man. The sbc runs like a champ. But mostly, it is the coolest looking blower and carb set up ever! That guy has a serious man cave.
Great vid DBG.
Thank you Mohan, I’m glad you enjoy it, like he says, he loves anything mechanical, any engine, any combination, any car, we all should be like that look past that blue, orange, color means nothing in all aspects.
Awesome!!!! It sounds fast and the throttle response is amazing!!!
Oh yeah hairy nothing like it. I love it too. Glad you’re here. Appreciate you more in store.
Hello Bob, I am happy that you are back on the show
That is a real one I have only heard that sound a couple of times, Distinct with the type of Supercharger.
I've never heard of this company, but it sure makes that engine sound sweet!
I know what Robert really blows me away to imagine under the hood of a 59 through 61 Corvette pulling up to the stoplight, nail it
Very impressive. I've never seen one before. He knows how to modify a distributor for sure. It starts immediately. Like the one I did for my friend for a Modified we ran at Eldora. Some people were caught off guard in the pits because they couldn't hear the starter turning over before it started.
Thanks for watching Don. Thank you. Stay tuned for more.
That is Koolest Badest Small Block Chevy I have Ever Heard Running Tim !
Thank You.
You’re most welcome, my friend I would love to have one under a hood of a 59 Corvette, that’s what they were made for. I think he said 59 through 61. They fit like a glove. Appreciate you my friend.
Wow, the sound.of that Latham is "old school cool !"
@user-vs2hp2pd1r and imagine that in 1959.
Wicked whine, I need one of these for 460
It would probably work you’d have to make a custom intake top, but I bet you could make it work Sam
I'm glad that you are able to get over to see this man again. Thank you for sharing this new visit.
You’re welcome John I’m glad you’re here waiting till tonight’s video more stuff you never see. Always learning something new or DragBoss garage.
That has one hell of an overdrive, looks like probably 10 to 1 or so. Really cool stuff Tim keep em coming!
I thought he said it was like 5% overdrive, yeah it is really cool I sure will, check out tonight’s video more unique stuff
thats cool Tim, i love the sound of that supercharger, cheers mate
Thanks Craig I enjoy it too. I don’t care what engine. It is that wine it’s just something you can’t mistake for anything else.
DBG that sounds so cool thank you for that and thank your friend for me
I sure will Frankie I have a good video. I think I’m gonna put up tonight, which is just him and I bench racing about what it was like in the later 50s, we can talk about the assassination of Kennedy and his point of you. Just pure history. Stay tuned for that.
That Chevy means business! And those carbs were used on early 6cyl. Corvettes.
No doubt about that. I’m not a fan of those carburetors, but they work well on this since her some boost, maybe not as well without.
Way cool Tim.love that early stuff.looking at that crank and s/c cog..that s/c is spinning fast.so simple compared to today.cant wait to see whats next.
Hey Anthony, good to hear from you my friend I know it I really love hearing it too. I forgot what he said, but it was quite a bit overdriven, tonight, Brian Wolfe I think you know who he is. 7 PM DragBoss garage.
So cool! I look at bob as a mechanical genius. To me he is up there with smokey and grumpy. Would love to see more with bob. That little 327 sounds healthy. Noticed how smooth it is. The 327 he did for me is same way. No shake at all perfect balance job. I dont believe anyone could build a engine better than bob beach. So cool of you to shine a little light on this man. Thanks again for a nother great video.
Thanks Justin I appreciate it. And sodas Bob. I’m giving him the recognition he’s never had, and sharing his intelligence, his craftsmanship, and his passion. Wait until you see tonight‘s bench racing with Bob.
What a work of art that engine looks too cool to start it looks way ahead of its time and cooler than any new factory engine,cause theew is som amazing builds out there but wow for now and its day and then the whine wiah the mrs sounded that pleasant 😊
I agree, 💯 nothing like blower or I should say supercharger whine. Imagine that in the 50s.
I need one of those Latham Axial Superchargers Tim for one of my Pontiac V8 engines.
Reminds me of a Hawker Sea Fury I watched doing a low fly past.....coming towards you, you got the awesome supercharger whine, then after it passed, you got the thunderous exhaust roar !!
Yeah it’s something I never heard before. It’s pretty crazy that’s for sure. Glad you’re here Adrian thanks so much. He talks about a guy with a 55 Chevy that had that under the hood back in the 50s on tonight’s video.
The L79 327 was a pretty stout engine to start with, in it's day. Adding that blower and corvette carbs to it, makes for a wicked little unit.
Way kewl! This reminded me of a 1965 Vette I was shown in a back room of a GM training center, in Tarrytown N.Y.. I think it was 1977. Paxton supercharger, blowing through a Rockchester fuel injection, and had a Powerglide with a clutch. I was lead to believe it was a few engineers “black project”, once upon a time, and it didn’t really exist on any of the GM books.
There were several other cars in there, that made me go hmmm…
Hey, just a thought. Y’all oughta see if Rusty Glidden would see if his mom, Etta, would do a podcast with you, as she was a integral part of the Bob Glidden team, and deserves recognition.
Thanks George I would love to hear that one run to. I had already asked her, and she really doesn’t want anything to do with Racing anymore but who knows anything can work out when it supposed to, so stay tune. See you tonight 7 PM live chat with Brian Wolfe.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland maybe if it’s approached as a family reflection via / with the boys, and not from specifically a racing connected perspective.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland Have you seen this? Popped up in my feed.
czcams.com/video/Ciu1DNRhOsc/video.html
Trust me, it’s not gonna happen. There’s so many things people do not know, leVe at that. We’ll keep moving forward getting the information we can from who’s available and who is receptive. I’m glad you’re here George.
Yep awhile back. Great video
What would be awesome is a microphone on both you guys. Sweet motor!
Thanks Victor it’s funny some people say they can hear another people say they can’t. I heard it fine making the video may be a little bit interference but not bad but thanks for comments.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland Awesome stuff. Keep posting!
Great video mate, love it!
Thank you so much I love just any engine, any car, anything mechanical. You have to appreciate where they all came from and their purpose. Cheers, mate.
Good evening Tim! I hope all is well with you and your family, and Zeus the Wonder Dog! This is a remarkable piece of Bowtie engine history. Was the blower a one off GM piece, or was someone able to buy it from So~Cal, or Honest Charleys? Regardless, it is a keeper, to be sure. When will the 2nd channel go live? I look forward to seeing you succeed in this endeavor. In the meantime, take care, give my regards to Rusty. All my best to your family and especially your 2 future scrub nurses! #CantGetEnoughOfThatDBG❗
Thank you so much, my friend we are all well, Zeus is being well behaved in a great watchdog for DragBoss garage But yes I wrote it in the comments you could buy this kit for $1200, they made them for Chevy, the Ford 312, the hemi, And I have another video I made showing that. I may get the channel up tomorrow, I have so much right now to get ready for tonight’s live chat, also try to get a video ready. And yes, those two future scrub nurses. You never know where they’re going to go. Like I always say, always learning something new at DragBoss garage. I will tell Rusty you said hi. Stay tune for tonight Brian Wolfe, 7 PM.
Sounds sweet
Indeed, sweet sounds of success, and horsepower. Hope you sub Jason way more in store
😯 Wowser!… that things whining more then Chevy Owners when they see my Chute release 😂🏁
LMAO 👍👍👍🤣😆😁😄😃 Well said Sir Janks !
@@danielwilson6665 😂🤷🏻♂️🏁
Rock ‘n’ roll Janks seems even louder than 671. What do you think?
@@DragBoss351Cleveland sure is loud, wow….
i like it, good bit of history & nostalgia right there 👍🏼🏁
there was a Latham supercharger for sale on a FE board on Facebook
What’s up Mr. Dillenger not seen you in a while. Yeah, can you imagine throwing it on a 427, hang on baby have to see how much they want for it
If you're interested, I have a '66 327 sbc you could do that to... Imagine! Your very own wining, winding mouse right there in the Drag Boss Garage!
I always wanted a 327, be cool to have. And in DragBoss Garage no less
What sort of boost is that 327 running?
Awesome little motor, sounds crisp and smooth.
That's coming from a FORD FREAK!
I know Chris I love it too. I think he said it makes about 7 pounds of boost I read on Latham’s, and they can make up to 10 pounds obviously depends on how fast the engines turning . But such a cool piece.
Got whine!
Yes, and no cheese please
@@DragBoss351Cleveland lot of blower whine for such a compact unit! Sounds awesome!
I bet that whine would be tiresome on a long trip.
Turn the radio up😉
Hey Tim, love your channel m8, I thought you might be interested in this big block ford making 5000hp+ in Australia built by moran race engines!! If you can send me your email I will send u the link
Cheers
Michael
