- Here is an episode of my Pro Stock Treasure Hunt. These are possibly Bob Glidden's heads, UR-19 Intake, High Port 351 Cleveland 4v Heads, and Holley Dominator Carbs list number 6464. The hours that went into these heads and intake is unreal. Must have 200 hrs of brazing the intake and exhaust ports, and the UR-19 Tunnel Ram Intake. I have been doing a ton of research. I have come to find out more info.... I will present my findings, with a head to head comparison of various Pro Stock Heads, and pics of what I have found out. Stay tuned......
WOW, this is definitely a part of nostalgic history and I can’t wait to see the build. I’ve been to the Glidden home and garage back in the 90’s and met Bob and Billy and Shannon. It was a week I’ll never forget. I seen all the big blocks setting in the corner of the garage but most of them were covered up so I just looked from a distance. They were 3 setting there together, complete!!! The Glidden’s are great people and can cook like no other!!!!
Scott those are memories of a lifetime, thanks for sharing on my channel, I would have loved to look under those covers. Please subscribe, and explore the channel.
Larry Widmers contributions to Glidden, Rick Mears and Bill Elliott are unforgettable advances in combustion technology.
Have heard about him working on Glidden’s heads but never seen any proof. I know he is one of best porters.
Always loved 351 clevelands.Had a 71 fastback in highschool in 1979 and no one could believe how good it ran comepletely stock with a good tune.Ate up all those new z-28 camaros and you should have seen their facial expression when I opened the hood to show a stock cleveland.Great memories.
Had a cleveland in 72 ranchero and 71 Cougar. They were fast for what they were. Thanks man. Stay tuned more to come. Please subscribe and share
Ha, that brings back memories! I had a 71, 72 and 73 fast backs with clevelands. After destroying them from being a dumbass kid street racing, I got a 66notch. Had to use a torch and sledgehammer to make room for the C. Used 69 mustang headers. When I was running stock cars we had a cyl pressure rule, 165 max. I ran an open head on one side and closed chamber on the other, eventually got caught, 145 on open and 230 on closed! Lol! Took out 5 cranks in 8 races until I was told about the oil mod, restricting the top end oil and running a line from the sending unit through the back of the intake valley and feeding the cam tunnel. Great old days!
Jim Miller thank you for the great story. That is crazy running OC and CC on each side, ingenious and made a difference too. I have never used the additional oil line. Please subscribe and share and stay tuned
Jim Miller you don’t make rocker arms do you?
Had a 71 Notchback with the 2V Cleveland. My friends hated that car. It kept whipping their asses. Bone stock. They had thousands in theirs.
Love the early Ford Pro Stock era. This is innovation at its best. Those Clevo Heads are killer. And I'm lucky enough to remember it. Keep it coming.
Keeping the Cleveland alive
What i find really interesting...is that they came up with the same conclusions that we did playing on the flowbench...filling the back of the bowl and the floor of the port really allowed the Cleveland to move air above .625 lift....The heads we played with would go turbulent at around. .630 lift and lose flow...with the modified port it would carry clean to .750....This proves we were on the right track 30 years ago...
You guys were right on track, amazing the fore thought. Who would have known, all this technology came from pro stock era, not only engine mods but also suspension and electronics. Thanks Frankie.. stay tuned
When Gliden had that bad wreck at the Gator Nationals he jumped out of the car and put his jacket over the carbs and intake so know one could see them.
He was hiding the white dust from the proplene oxide that was on the intake from all the stores I have heard, I think he was hiding that badass intake, later they built a wall to hide it, great find in my city here in Warren
I was competing in Stock Eliminator with a C/S 1971 429SCJ Mustang when that wreck occurred. We were at Commerce Ga 's NHRA Southern Nationals and not at Gainesville, Fl. Just sayin
@@2429scj I wasn't Positive about the track and I should have stated that but the story had nothing to do with the location, thanks for the correction.
I was going to write the same thing. I remember that like it was yesterday. The guy was trying to interview him and Bob was all nervous and blowing the guy off until he got that jacket over the intake. The announcer said that was why he covered it. I asked Bob at the 100th anniversary of Ford Racing and he said everyone was trying to see it. If I remember correctly he said he wanted everyone to think the intake was the magic piece. Who knows, he was a grudge racer, hiding and lying about parts till his death. Cool guy tho.
Wayne county dodge team was running nitrous.
Billt and rusty put in a car and bob took it thru tech which they passed as legal. Which he then told them it had nitrous and to find it.
Bob Glidden worked his ass off, just like Warren Johnson.
Very, very, cool. My great uncle worked with Bob and ported alot of the heads/intakes. I have to show him this!
Yes show him be cool to see what he says. He ported Gliddens heads and intake?
He didn't just do port work, more of a crew chief/mechanic actually. But he said he would sit on the flow bench for days with an intake manifold/head constantly adding or removing material. I can't imagine doing all that work, but that's why he was the best!
So cool to hear. I believe it when I see the work that has been done. Insane. My buddy Darin Morgan worked with him too, there was a reason they called him mad dog. Thank Josh share anything anytime
I worked at a hole in the wall machine shop in Austin,TX..my job was rebuilding sbc cylinder heads..disassemble,hot solvent bath,magniflux,resurface,hardened valve guides,3 angle valve grind then reassembly..I saw bbc,hemi,bb/sb ford..you name it we worked it..even did some tractor stuff..I will never forget the 1st time I saw 4 bbl Cleveland heads..the ports are huge bigger than bbc ports by far..I would even go as far as say they come close to Pontiac ram air v head ports..
ferrelx very cool. Man. I remember the same thing. That what got me going back In the day. I have never seen RAV will have to ck them out. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe and share stay tuned
Hi Tim, you’ve got quite a fine selection of classic hardcore Cleveland parts and they are just as I remembered from spending many hours in the pits during the seventies. I was observing the legends of Cleveland Pro Stock Drag Racing as they went about their torrid paced routines of precision chaos , better known as thrashing between rounds.
Your video presentation was very well done with smooth camera work and adequate lighting along with plenty of dwell time as you described the various features that makes it all so unique. The most noticeable difference between what you have and my iron high ports is the intake port size. My Endyn port floors are raised which reduces the overall height and the walls are ported for increased width. These changes make the intake port almost square with the height just 0.125” more than the width. Very similar to yours, there has been extensive work done to fill and contour the port turn behind the valve guides.
I know that making these highly informative videos takes a lot of your spare time but the results are well worth the effort. I appreciate everything that you do, my friend !
Thank you Daniel. Thanks for the memories. Yes to see these works of art, in real life, and feel them with your hands, is something you cannot explain. Yes, send me some pics, so I can evaluate, and add to my next Pro Stock vid.
This is Good Stuff i can appreciate, hours spent in the past has stood the test of time,,
Richard Wimmer so true. Now let’s see what they can do, bring them back to life. Thanks Richard, don’t forget to subscribe and more to come.
Too cool! That's some old school aluminum welding! Wish I could show you the EFI intake I made for that Titus block cleveland in my friend's 73 Mach 1. I built it with aluminum pipe and sheet metal, deleted the distributor, had 2 electronic throttle bodies facing forward towards the intercoolers, and I mounted the ls2 ignition coils on top. Last I heard it dynoed 800+rwhp
Very cool Drew, send me a pic. Sounds like a screamer. thpa351@gmail.com
Nice I have a set of these heads too . The work they put in them in the old days was amazing
Cool. Yes sire absolutely amazing Have you used them before? Thanks for watching please subscribe and share it stay tuned.
Bad ass Cleveland history!!! I can't get enough!!!!!
Thanks Stephen, stay tuned.
These need to be put on a flow bench to discover what he was getting out of them. THEN you will be really amazed....
I will. It is in the works. Glad your into it. Please subscribe and share with your friends. And stay tuned.
Were they run dryish no radiator then ... run water through them like old dragsters ?
@@bradleymorris8875 No they all ran water throughout.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland I bought a cool looking “Pro Stock” Cleveland years ago. Dry sump but the pump was in the pan. Most of the block was concrete , the heads had the exhaust ports cut off and big blocks were bolted on. Big block Chevy exhaust pattern. The distributor was belt drive.
Be cool to see. What ever happened to it? Make sure you stick around so you don’t miss anything.
So glad to find your channel, nothing cooler than seeing older mysteries revealed...love the content.
Thanks man. Lots more to come. More in depth with next video. Please subscribe and share my friend.
My favorite ERA in NHRA pro stock is when they raced small blocks. I get the reasons why they changed to big blocks but the small blocks were what most people ran in their street cars and could identify with them. I had a small block powered Pinto back then that I always wanted to reproduce to look like a prostock..Cool stuff! nice videos!
MegaScott thank you. That is my favorite time period. That was when racing was racing. Pintos make wicked pro stock race cars. Thanks for tuning in my friend
The complete motor is a friggin' masterpiece! Had a 4V in my' '72 'stang with a polished Dyer's 6-71 and two 600 Holley's. Was putting out near 600 hp. Everything was great until I ordered a smaller pulley for the blower from Dyer's. After a couple of days tearing up the streets with a lot more boost, it was throwing out oil through the exhaust. After tearing it down found several broken piston rings. Oh well C'est la vie!
That would be killer on the street for sure. Boost changes everything. So hopefully fixed it and on the road again.
So glad I found your video, Brought back some great memories! I used to run Boss Cleveland's with a Doug Nash 5 speed, Long shifter, 5.56 gears in a tubed 65 mustang back in the late 80s up here in Detroit MI! Man do I miss that car and times! I had the steel plates that raised the exhaust floor up similar to what you have you have there but MUCH less work and money! And of course less HP too! lol
Going to keep following this build! New subscriber here! Thanks.
Micron 326 welcome. Your Stang sounds like a rocking machine. Glad you stopped by, stay tuned as there going to be a lot of old memories for a whole lot of subscribers. Long live the Cleveland.
Tim the high-port heads were developed 1972 73 by fo mo co by wayne gapp for the Gapp & Roush Tijuana Taxi. my father machined the first ones in the svo/ development center allen park michigan anything from there was stamped with an XE part number... neat stuff thanks for sharing this stuff is History !!!!!
I thought that was correct year. Be great to talk to your dad if he is still alive and feels like talking. That would be stellar. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please subscribe and share and stay tuned
@@DragBoss351Cleveland Bud Moore and Wood bros ran hi port heads..in mid 70s....Bud Moore developed a box type intake for these....
Familia with Bud, Charles.they were innovative for sure. That intake was not that great, at low rpm. Fuel puddling
@@DragBoss351Cleveland I was at race at Darlington...back in mid 70s...and after race was over you could go watch them check engine engine...tare down...and David Pearson won and Buddy Baker driving Bud Moores Ford finished second....and both ran that intake.....that race....i sure the track and rpm mattered....
Without A doubt track mattered. Great times for sure. Thanks
My LORD....the amount of effort that CLEARLY went into modifying an off the shelf intake to get it to be what amounts to what today would be your basic sheet metal intake.....THAT was REAL hot rodding.....REAL NHRA drag racing....when it was worth watching......i'm subbing and watching this build....its a damn time capsule....
Outlaw Mercenary I could not agree more. The thought that went into them was extensive. Some way ahead of their time for sure. I agree. Don’t really watch racing since like 2000, both nhra and nascar. This time capsule will be making some thunder. Stay tuned
There was guy a guy in my city was racing a super late model Mopar . He bought a PS engine from Bobs stable after he retiring the Mopar Arrow . I ended up with one of the W2 cylinder heads at my shop for repairs. They were done by Diamond racing engines in Detroit . All I can say is ! You have no idea ! WOW you had to see to believe it ! Today I can't say they could ever be replicated !
With the big oval exhaust ports? That (W2) stuff was heading towards a hemi head for the 340 LA. The pattern for it was a scaled down 392 early hemi head. It died due to A.) weight and B.) The power levels necessitated extensive bottom end redesign. In other words,dd they want a new early hemi? With vehicle weight in a downward trend, they decided against it.
If you saw it you can describe it. Must have been a 340 head? Gives us some details. Thanks for watching and please subscribe and share
Can you imagine. There are hemi beds for Cleveland’s making around 950+ hp. Just not into that, want to stick old school for sure. Yes Chrysler had their act together in pro stock days especially the suspension and chassis.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland my buddy Charlie C. Was not a factory guy but they were something with parts for their cars! He needed some rods to finish up a few(2 low bucks) spare motors so any problem didn't automatically become a shit show. They sent a pallet of rods to him. Both stock length and some long rods too. My memory seems to put the pallet count at fifty rods? What would that be worth today!!! He had to pick the pallet up in Manhattan and pay the freight. I was sent to pick it up.The cost was $29.00.
@@Mr39036ce wow can only imagine that road trip. I bet a lot of parts got through the gates. And they are still out there. I thank you for controlling and growing the channel stay tuned and see what is next. I do have a bunch of sponsors at end of vids. Smith brothers push rods pro systems carbs, bullet cams, precision oil pumps, and list goes on. These guys are all there to help. Thanks for hanging out.
I have an interesting true story about Bob Glidden's winning Mustang. It was September, 1990 or 1991 and I was down in Pensacola, Florida with my buddy Joe Konigshofer of Konigshofer Motorsports who recently bought Bob Glidden''s championship Mustang. So here we are in this off the beaten path General Store 1500 miles away from where we live picking up some supplies groceries etc, and low and behold on one of the shelves are half a dozen models of Bob Glidden's winning Mustang which is Konigshofer Motorsports's newly acquired race car. Joe starts freaking out at the coincidence of only these model cars in the store being displayed and its his car and he had just informed me that half an hour prior to entering the store of their latest car. Naturally he bought every model in the store for his brothers and crew pit. Talk about a coincidence!
Thor that is a wicked story, so what happend to car does he still have it. Did it come with the original glidden motor? Need one of those Models for the garage..
Just watched your new vid. Thanks for the effort. Some old history now I was at the US Nationals the year NHRA outlawed the modified class. We were up from Tampa with a 68 Camero it drew quite a crowd in the pits. Because we were fast. Powered w a 293 boss 302. Yep a lot of confused faces that day. Buy back to your pro stock vid. We had the same blue valve covers, our tunnel ram was cover with aluminum tin and held together w 5lbs of clear silicon. High port heads w round exports. A duel bolt pattern BBC or Cleveland. Really enjoyed the vids. Thanks Tim.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland Hi Tim, If it did I wasn't aware of it. I know Ford Racing gave them a 1510 hp mountain motor. I sent Joe a text on FB and awaiting reply. I'll inquire about the car and get back to you if I hear back from him. Thanks for replying Tim, keep up the great work.

@@johncarter7630 Thank you John. I appreciate the time you took to comment. I love that. I bet they did not know what to think. I can't wait to get this to dyno in the future, and then test.
Stuck a 351C into my '67 Fastback Mustang and loved that car. So much torque in that small block. And so begins the flood of nostalgia. lol Have fun, whatever you decide to do.
V. E. I love 67 fast backs. And with a cleveland, even better. I am enjoying it and thank you. Subscribe and stay tuned.
CHA=Cylinder Heads of America. They did a couple of sets for some friends of mine in the early 80's....iron BB Chrysler. They did pretty high end stuff at the time.
Thank you for the info.
I just stumbled across your channel and this was fantastic to see what lengths they went to, to get the pony's out of the cylinder's. Great episode
Cripple Bitchin thanks my friend. It is amazing the work that went into these parts. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe and share and stay tuned for more pro stock mania....
We ran a 351 C in our Sportsman class dirt track car. The engine came from Holman Moody, via a local guy who worked for the Ford race team back when they dominated Trans Am racing. There was some trick work on the heads. Intakes and pistons as well.
Thats cool to hear. Do not really hear of many circle track Clevelands. How did it do on the roundy round?Would love to see pics of them if you have them. Thanks for commenting. Stay tuned, and subsrcibe please. Stay tuned, ck out tonight's episode.
Very very interesting ~! It was sometime in the early '90's, I was walking through the airport in Orlando when I see this man coming toward me who I recognized, but couldn't put a name to the face. Likewise, he's looking at me like he knows me. We both stop dead in our tracks and start chatting, turns out it was Bob Glidden :-)... I'll never forget it
Mark Osborne that is a cool story for sure. I met him once in pits at National trail in Columbus Ohio. Rip Bob.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Mark race have something to do with Drag racing, the name is very familiar
Michael Wynne not sure what saying?
I remember an article where Glidden said he took 4 heads to make 2 the writer wrote about the oven he used to furnace braze the heads back together. As a Ford guy Glidden was the man
Charlie I never read that. Have. Seen them cut in two and welded for six cylinder. Yes I can tell he he did braze his heads. I have a picture of head in his oven heating the cast. You can also see chamber design. It will surprise you when you see it. Will be in up coming video. Please subscribe and share with your friends. Thanks for taking the time
@@DragBoss351Cleveland It was an 80s article, they didn't actually show any work going on just pointed out the oven and how he section 2 heads to make one. As a ford guy back in the day you searched every article for those tidbits you could use in and among the thousands of Chevy articles. I used to have a note book of all the things I had gleaned, now days people could can research on line
Charlie be cool to find that. Yes the internet has changed the way we do things so drastically. Anything at the tips of your fingers. Yes I still write down everything on my little yellow pads. Thank you for watching and commenting
That story sounds like the Dick Maskins AMC prostock program
colin munro oh yeah, he cut and welded up heads wickedly to make them work. Thanks watching. Please subscribe and share....stay tuned.
Not that it’s relevant to your project, but I thought you might get a kick out of some Cleveland lore. In the mid-70s we ran a Cleveland in a circle track, super modified. This was back when no one ran anything other than Chevy’s. The fun part is that we ran it backwards, to try and get more bite to the left side tires. Also, there were no injectors made for the motor, so the car owner made a set out of a dual quad, tunnel ram manifold. Also, there wasn’t enough room for the cam gear on a gear drive setup. Ironically, being a full gear drive cam, typically, you’d have to put a reverse gear on the magneto. But with the motor running backwards, the need was eliminated. We had to hog out the front of the block and weld in a plate to reseal everything. We kept having problems with the thing burning main bearings, I would imagine from the oil holes in the crankshaft being unsuitably located for the reverse rotation. It ended up being an experiment that wasn’t particularly successful.
Love it Scott. That takes a whole of engineering. I have never heard anything like that. You guys were innovators. I enjoyed that and bet others will. Scott please subscribe and share with your motor head buds. Please stay tuned.
Neat stuff,lots of hours put into that stuff,cool video the exhaust side of those heads is very interesting
Thanks Eric for watching. Yes ton of work those heads and intake. Make me think what it was like racing those engines, and the time that went into pro stock. Great history for sure. Please subscribe and share and stay tuned
Hi Tim
I Like your channel.
I ran a 351 c in my 1989 mustang in the early 90's...and my engine guy was-is a Ford cleveland enthusiast...(also does a bunch of 428 cobra jets in super stock as well....1 national record holder). Live out here in NJ.
Interesting old Heads, Joe had a set of those at his shop for years...with the plates.
I ran a set of C302b on 11.7 to 1 with a mild roller with 0.697 lift with a jerico....ran 10.17 best.
I moved up to a 398 inch 14 to 1 motor in 93, car ran 9.72 @140 best @ 3250lbs 1994
Joe got a super stock 351 head down at the shop, and I asked what the valve angle was.......measured 9.5 degrees. They really spent alot of time and expertise on the cleveland heads in the 1960's.
glad to see interest still out there. I always wanted a set of those A3 heads you have, never could find them.
Today, there is just so much available.
subbed. good luck to you.
Thank you so much. Love hearing that history. I am looking for a set of 302b so keep your eyes open. Sound like your burning some rubber with your stang. Also interested in the heads Joe has. Let me know. Thanks for watching and staying tuned. I may know someone with a set of A3s I will scope it out.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland Tim
I sold that motor in the 90s last motor was a 398 inch c302b..svo block .made about 725...basic engine. 9.70 @140 @3250lbs with a jerico. The a3 heads were bigger in volume, but not available in 1992.
I Have a 427 sbf with afr heads now in my street car....686 hp on the dyno...12 to 1.
If I was going to do another high hp piece, it would be a set of d3s or those Higgins heads. easy 900hp @430 inch. Think about that.
I like what your doing and your heart...They had alot right in the heads on the cleveland...but I wouldnt do another Cleveland block, the dart blocks are soooo good. your at the edge on power without exotic sleaves and thin wall block... but In your car...the nostalgia is there. LOVE IT.
I had uploaded a vid of my car on a older yout tube channel....ill try to post it.....czcams.com/video/W8ck2_unkVU/video.html
Man this shit is so freaking cool!! When engine builders were actual engine builders not computer geeks like we have today! Thanks bro, awesome vid!!
Check out my live chats with real engine builders. I agree with you for sure, when they had to make engine parts not order from a catalog. Lots more to see explore the channel thanks
That's really cool. Like a page out of a late 1970s Hot Rod or Car Craft. Maybe summer of '77 I remember reading an article about Glidden.
Thanks man, Appreciate it. Glad you were into it, going to keep going with this component of the channel, while working on current 409c. Stay tuned.

Thanks Rust lover, and that’s my goal to get the stuff back in working order Dyno test and possibly track test depending on what vehicle is ready and willing.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland I will be following along.
Man those heads bring back some memories. The epoxied runners and the raised exhaust plates . Man if I had a nickle.
You'll find that 800. Easy
Randall Tufts I hope so. Need to bring this iron to life. Yes I bet I can 800 hp out of it. Thanks for watching please subscribe and share. Stay tuned.
the top of the exhaust ports were milled and the aluminum plates were added and ported to fix the bad exhaust flow.
Yes, but what is the most beneficial is the straightening of the port. The the straighter the port, less distance and resistance the mixture has to flow through and against. That is how the other heads are more efficient and can make more power at less rpm, raised intake and exhaust ports. Thanks for watching and commenting
I commented on another video about a set of Cleveland heads that showed up one day in a machine shop I worked at. That plate they used to relocate the exhaust ports are exactly what I remembered back then. Crazy the amount of work that went on back then.
I replied to you, check it out, I agree back in the day, the cost was close to 5k for a set of high port Cleveland heads.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland ya know the crazy thing about those days was bigger was always better. No matter what you couldn’t convince many that that wasn’t always the case. I’m referring to the fact that back in the good ol days when it came to the Cleveland stuff was the idea that you had to have a 4V head. And while yes they had there place, a well worked of 2V heads were probably more times than not a better choice. A guy by the name of Mark Stahl showed me that first hand. I was shocked to say the least. But never the less a growing curve on my way of thinking.
Pretty interesting seeing history.

Love the straight shot mods to the port/valve. Great history man !
Thanks so much, appreciate it.
Very Nice...I maintained, modified, flowed NHRA Pro-Stock cleveland heads back late 70's-early 80's...then Pro-Stock Circle Track clevelands for many years following...watching your video was like a time machine...I know of at least 5 modifications that I dealt with on a daily basis missing from those pieces...
Nice to see someone still run'n this stuff...Mr. Cushman used to visit us @ R & R Machine, Londonderry, NH...I'm sure you know about the following...
1.) "Posting" the deck surface stopped head gasket failures on high compression / endurance applications...
2.) The high ports only fixed high lift flow...real problem was the seat area and creating a venturi...
3.) Angle Mill/Machine was required to make HP on destroked lbs/cu/in classes...mid/low 40cc's...
4.) Intake rocker stud & pushrod hole relocation to allow port widening...
5.) Intake port roof epoxy/brazing/welding to allow for a raised port...
6.) Proper intake port short side to get rid of the dreaded "stall" condition...(some try'd those wings)...
7.) If Al Mathon @ "High Speed Salvage" was your buddy...there were NO LIMITS...
8.) I would go to extreme measures to raise the piston top ring land...seats/valves/cams/molds/minimum thickness...etc...
9.) Only advantage of the cleveland block was the ability to pull the intake to check the lifter/tie-bar issues between 9500rpm+ rounds without drop'n coolant...
10.) Ford Motorsport/Aussie block was eventually dropped due to #2 Main cap failures in endurance applications (like NASCAR)...seen billet one's crack as well...also block would crack in this area...NASCAR External #2 main cap that exited the oil pan and clamped to the side of the block...been there...done that...
11.) If your not run'n 4.155 bore...oh well...
A heads...B heads...C heads...kinda liked the C302B's myself...when that aluminum stuff first came out John Healey from Tasca Ford fame built a 351-C powered foxbody Mustang that terrorized NHRA Comp. Eliminator. #1 qualifier everywhere it went.
351-C is the ONLY engine to ever be handicapped by the NHRA...(Comp & Modified Eliminators)... .2lbs/cu/in w/1-4bbl & .4lbs/cu/in w/2-4bbl...and this effectively ended the migration of chevy racers to this powerplant...
I'm sure I've forgotten much more...
WOW, David, you know the facts right there. I appreciate it. I will repost this, and use for my video, if you do not care? Be good for us to talk.Thanks
That is more than 5, lol...Thanks for giving me the heads up.

I had a 351 Cleveland that was like that. It was supposed to have been Bob's engine. The heads were very similar, high port, but had wings epoxied in the intake ports. Those parts look identical except for the wings in the intake ports.
Ray Ryan very cool. Yes I have a set of those too. I am going to make a quick video of my current pro stock heads and variations. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe and stay tuned.
Those lines in the exhaust port are, I believe, vortex generators that help curl the exhaust downward in the direction of the header as it changes direction by causing the flow to hug the inside radius of the bend. Cool stuff for sure!
Yes, thinking they are for reversion issues. Thanks for checking out my channel. Don't forget to subscribe.
Can you imagine what these heads would cost today, that would probably be a $100k engine, most of the money in labor! I would love to see more of these heads, in person would be awesome, I love to see the work being done in these heads! Intake also!
Yes the parts are BES and I am starting my pro stock build along with aluminum TrackBoss 351 Cleveland block that will be being built too. Check out the vid
I love small block fords! I consider the Cleveland a small block, only because I can bolt a Cleveland in my fox body . It drops right in, all I need is the right headers and h pipe.
Pretty cool messed around with some clevos back when we used to get the XE block from the Ford f trucks here in Australia they were real stout parts , those motors always had minimal leak down fun times 🙂
Thanks Peter. Can’t wait to see what we can build. Have 2 xe blocks.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland know you love the nostalgia stuff but one of those blocks with some Chi heads and a huge snail would be awesome, like your show keep up the great work mate 🙂
@@petercunningham3469 thanks mate. What is a snail? Turbo? Make 1000hp
@@DragBoss351Cleveland Aussie nickname for turbo compressor snail .😄
Guess we just got sick of saying Turbo 🙃
I seen Bob Glidden's ford fairmont sitting in the back of a race trailer at a Ford FE reunion in PA a couple years ago.
Are sure it was his car, or a tribute car? There is a guy with one, with the blue and white paint scheme, runs a BBF. Thanks for watching, please subscribe, and share with your buds.
Cool... you found my heads! Glad they're still around someplace.
Loyd Champion what does that mean? Can you tell me more?
@@DragBoss351Cleveland Back years ago when I had my engine shop I did some head work on 351C heads. Everything that left was marked with CHA and the invoice number. If for example we did 2 pair oft heads, the other would be CHA-####-X X= a letter, generally you know, A, B, C, etc. Engine numbers were done the same way.
Loyd Champion did you work at cha, cylinder heads of America or own it? Or work on their heads a lot at your shop? I just checked the heads. CHA 7529, and then 1 on opposite side of both heads. What do you think?
@@DragBoss351Cleveland CHA was for Champs Competition ENGINEering. Never heard of Cylinder Heads America.
That is just how we stamped our stuff. When I moved into a larger shop in 1985 I went to CCE for a prefix.
Loyd Champion well that cleared that up. Thanks. Someone commented they were cylinder heads of America. These are CHA 7529 on one end and 1 on the other. Both heads marked the same. Also Loyd did you guys epoxy ports or braze ports. Install port plates? Thanks for the info. Will mention it on my next vid. Appreciate it. Stay tuned.
If you don't mind sir, I would like to tag along and see how this build goes. I got the Drag Racing bug as a teen thanks to Dyno Don back in the 70's when he had some guy turning wrenches for him named Jon Kaase. If those are Glidden parts, you sir, may have won the horsepower lottery and you will have to lose the engine stand, or you'll jinx the project! 😆
For sure. I know what he was thiught about stands. Yes I know Jon he is a genius too. Stay tuned it will be cool to see how this works out. Subscribe and share and stay tuned.
Now we why Glidden covered the carbs and intake after his accident.
Bob Hid his intakes for sure. I have a few pics of a cover he built for his boss 429. Hard to see any intake in pics that are out there. I have a few for next pro stock video. Thanks for watching. Please share and stay tuned.
That was the sheet aluminum intake for the big motor. Not the Cleveland based motor.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland I'd like to see the cage in the car that got an accident to find a nitrous fittings cuz Bob Glidden used a lot of nitrous
Scott H I think your wrong man. His sons shows it could be done but he did not use it. Do you wonder if the mopar boys used it?
@@bigredracer7848 Bob didn't use nos. The story goes his son got the idea from seeing Wayne County boys cheating NHRA couldn't find the bottle because they stored it in the extra battery. They removed the battery to "recharge" between runs.
Tim, oh Tim, no wonder this is your most popular video. This is Holy Grail stuff, for ANY Ford Dragracing aficionado. REMINDS me of Bob's huge '86 crash... the first thing he did after wrecking, was throw his jacket over his intake manifold !!!
arkhsm ford I will have to collect a few more colors, and be done.
Pretty sure the intake cover was alluminum. Looked more like a modern plenum, if I remember right. That’s a long time ago. There might be some video of the wreck where he covered the intake with his jacket.
Mike Lliteras true. I have a pic of the custom aluminum cover for his boss 429 power. Thanks for watching don’t forget to subscribe
Jon Kasse would know a thing or two about this stuff. He was Dyno Don's engine man back in the small block Pro Stock days. Jon has more knowledge than nearly anyone alive concerning anything to do with internal combustion engines. He is also very nice and easy to talk to.
mike s yes he was going to help me with TrackBoss aluminum Cleveland block, but later said he had too much going on and it would be a long time before he would get it done. Very humble man.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland OK, that's Jon. I have known him since 1987 and he is a terrific guy to discuss things with. He knows so much and I always just listen and then ask intelligent questions later. Jon has always been helpful even on the most mundane things. I live in Atlanta and his shop is in Winder, East of town a little.
mike s yes I really wanted him to help me with the TrackBoss block. He initially agreed. A week or so later he said he just cannot do it. He is, I forgot maybe 68. Works 12 hrs a day and building a new huge shop. He said he know he would not be able have any time to work on it. Be nice to see his shop. Thanks
@@DragBoss351Cleveland His shop is very nice and well organized. He has a good bunch of guys working for him, I know some them also. Chuck Lawrence and Cliff Moore and Ron, his high school pal. He is dedicated to quality and it shows in everything he does. Part of his long day is driving to work, he lives a good ways from his shop and it takes a bit to get there. If it's been a while since you spoke to him about your project you might want to touch base again with him. Things change and he might be able to help you.
@@mikes9939 I may revisit it, but the block is on it's way back to Tim Meyer, for some cnc updates, and .904 bushings. I may have a guy that Tim knows, may help me. Talked to him in the past. Jon was looking for an iron block, last week. Nice to know those guys, they definitely got it going on. If you talk to them mention it, I thank you for commenting, enjoy the history.
If you remember back in the 70's all the Pro Stocker's had covers on their intakes to hide them from anyone. That was where their secrets started at running down to the heads which every one knows is where it all happens. Bob was a straight up kind of guy, who I believe never cheated a day in his life. If he could not beat you that day he would work that much harder to do it next time. And that is how Billy is today. I believe that front plate has been added after it left Bobs property. If it was done when Bob had it , it would not have been left like that with the weld not smoothed out. Why would he go through all that work to make every thing smooth and leave a raw weld. That don't sound like Bob. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they ran the big caps back then.So he would not need to cut the manifold.
I agree. He was the hardest working racer along with his family. I am only going by what I was told. But all the parts are massages to the max and are going to bring them to life. Not sure what you big caps and manifold? Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland I was refering to the welded plate in the manifold. I felt that some one else had done that besides Bob. That would have been cleaned up if he had done it. Also I said I might be wrong but I believed he ran a small cap on the distributor back then, not a big cap like today.
@@brdnsky6417 he used epoxy on the outside of his runners to smooth them. Take a look at pics. They used the accel electronic box o think and with tach drive.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland Have you seen the video Legends Bob Glidden? If not at 34:52 they show a picture of Bob's engine and you can see the Accel distributor with a small cap and I believe it is the intake you have. I still have the new Accel in the box dual point distributor for the Cleveland I was going to use. It isn't a tach drive though. Watching that brought back memories of those people and cars live at Bristol. I remember watching Buddy Ingrasaw when they let him run in Pro Stock. Out running mountain motors with his twin turbo v6 for one year. Those Pro Stock drivers were really mad loosing to him. I could go on for hours about those days. Thanks again. Ronnie.
@@brdnsky6417 thanks Ronnie. It could be the intake on Bobs Car. That is why I want to bring it to life. See how it sounds, feels and smells. Get your motor done. Stay tuned
Right on , the good stuff!!
Eddie Johnson don’t forget to subscribe and share. New episode tonight....stay tuned
Some totally awesome pieces! The tinkerings of a mastermind, I mean skunkworks big time from back in the day! Bob must’ve always been thinking. What you’re showing makes all of us think even more about airflow and fuel, and how to get it in and out of an air pump and make the most of it! Can’t wait to see it run! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man. It is amazing for sure. It won't be running for a bit, collecting parts, and want to get these others projects done
Jay Cushman? I bought Boss 429 parts from him off the back of his van back in the 70son Long Island, NY. One was the factory XE single plane, dual quad intake that was unmachined. Rumored to be one of 20 or so ever cast.
Yes, I have bought lot of parts to jay and even sold him some. He has the largest collection of Ford parts bar none. That is so cool to hear Mitch. I bet he remembers selling it to you too.
Seeing what these flow compared to stock heads and SVO/Yates heads. The Yates comes in three different port volumes. So to compare them you would have to pick the ones with port sizes as close as possible!
I would not compare to Yates as they are totally different head. Not canted like a cleveland. May be saying Yates shape more than anything. Thanks for commenting Ken.
We know one thing, John Marcella did NOT do the welding on that intake.
No sir. I love his sheet metal intakes, a true artist. Please subscribe, and share. I will show inside it tonight, stay tuned.
sweet they raised the exhaust ports with those plates to extend the flow or remove the sharp factory turn downs those pieces were on a 77 mustang hatchback drag car i saw it in 78
s abo your right. They raised the port, and increased flow with removing that sharp 90 degree type turn, also change shape which can increase velocity. Thanks for watching, and subscribing ....stay tuned
They weren't after less plenum volume on the manifold they're main concern was getting the throttle bores lined up to give the straightest shot at the back of the valves possible fwiw
I agree. I think smaller plenum kept velocity up also.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland just remember they are only concerned about a very short rpm window so they also want the runner length to match that rpm band but were limited to what was available so they had to modify everything extensively
Yes I can see that for sure. Small rpm window for sure thanks for contributing. Stay tuned
Might pay to water pressure test the the jacket , you don't want a "water feature ", 👍.
Never had any of those features, yikes. Thanks for taking the time, stay tuned.
351 Cleveland was better than any GM engine period.
I have heard that before todd 😉
So much nostalgia!
Justin Powell thanks man. So much more. Please subscribe and share with your friends and stay tuned, as there is much more
Jesus, you must spend a fortune on these bad ass original race parts !!
Really enjoyed your video. I have always been a big fan of Bob Glidden and the 351 Cleveland. I have a set of the A3 Heads that our heavily ported.
Michael Milken very cool for sure. Glidden ruled, grew up watching him race from mid 70s. Can’t wait to build this pro stock motor I just picked up a nice stash of heads, including another set of A3s, current A3 heads by Darin Morgan are flowing 396@.900. Not bad for 80s technology. Been racing A3 heads for22 years. I would like to see your flow numbers,
@@DragBoss351Cleveland I bought the heads bare at the Long Beach Swap Meet back in the early '90's. I believe a Sportsman racer named Ben Alameda was running them. I am probably miss spelling his name. I have one 4 bolt block left and a Weiand Tunnel Ram along with the A3 Heads. Plan on using them at some point in the future.
Michael Milken yes I know who Ben is. Great engine builder. Cool. I think I have a couple of 4 bolts and 2 bolts. At one time I had 10. Yes really want to build a TR motor with that pro stock build. Never had one and always been amazed and intrigued. Think I have 6 pairs of A3 heads. Need to stop buying heads. Keep me posted on your build.
Coolest Clevland Historical stuff here more like artifacts lol slap awesome.
And these artifacts are going to be breathing fire, so make sure your not too close, don't want to get burned by the headers. stay tuned.
Killer gear man!
Just wait until we get it all together and hit the dyno. Stay tuned
the ford pt# on the cyl head is actually a casting # DIAE--------B which originally should cross ref to pt# DIAZ,6049,B D = 70S 1 = 1 OR IN D1 SEQUENCE = 71 A = FULL SIZE CAR. ( GALAXIE)--- Z =PT# NOT CASTING # 6049 = BASIC # FOR A CYL HEAD B =1 supercession, update or different application.
Sounds good Robert.
What year did they stop using the Cleveland in pro stock in your country,there a guy named Wayne Dayley from Brisbane Queensland Australia that i bought parts off,he used the Cleveland in pro stock till late eighties if my memories are right.Then bought Thunderbird from the states from a guy name i think Marvin Shaw that Billy Giidden drove,suppose to been a record holder,first in the sevens.Iwatched him do his first runs in a test and tune,i think it was doing flat eights that day,that the first time they started using ford mororsport block
They changed to big blocks in 1982, if I am not mistaken. Would love to see pics of car and engine. 8.0s is fast....
I the final race days for Bob Glidden pro stock what motor did he Run
You know what I’m not sure about that. I know your race for Cunningham. I can’t tell you what engine they were running back then. Sorry, Richard.
yep, those are glidden's heads. we all wanted to know how he brazed up those ports. thanks.
Axle Grind I have pics of them in his oven heating up before brazing. Stay tuned
It's a real art, I've had some tractor heads brazed up by a guy named Tom, Sperry Welding in Capac, Michigan. He puts the heads on a table and builds a box around them using loose bricks, covers it and blows a propane rose bud into the open end until the head comes up to temp, then eases back the lid, welds, rinse, repeat.
Production head Pro Stock.
This is why NHRA had to find a way to get rid of the Clevelands.
NHRA had to add weight to any car that ran a Cleveland.
Weight brakes in Pro Stock so other manufacturers could compete.
Dale you are so right. I forgot the factor, but it was like 7lbs per cube, others at 4-5.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland; A few years ago I went to the NHRA museum, Bob Glidden's Fairmont was there. It was the only Pro Stocker to NEVER lose a round of competition.
@@daleostrom3613 Why do you think that was?
Because Cleveland’s were kicking Ass and taking names.
@@davidelam631,The Clevelands were so dominant they were forced to run hundreds of pounds heavier than any other engine, even BBC. The main reason NHRA went to the 500 inch engines is to get rid of the Clevelands. Nobody hated to see Bob Glidden in the winners circle more than NHRA.
These are not the last Cleveland style heads that Glidden used. The last ones were D port exhaust
Mark Tetzloff thanks. When did you see them Mark? Any pics. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe.
So you have all these parts.. but you need someone to rebuild the carbs? Are you just a parts collector? I would just assume someone that is messing with these old Cleveland blocks would have the ability to rebuild a Holley carb. They are very easy to rebuild.
Maybe you should watch the carb restoration video. It’s not about rebuilding the carbs, it’s about restoring them. Yeah I can rebuild a Holley carb, But I don’t do it for a living. We made some changes to the carburetors, and yes I am a parts collector, a builder and a racer what are you?
they also rerouted the oil flow too from the cam to the crank if i remember with metal tubing and fittings
s abo yes. Couple things, oil restrictors in the mains to cam bearings, bushings in lifters, and the hank the crank system..... just wait until next video....
what is the purpose of the grooves in the exhaust ports?
I think it was placed to help with decreasing reversion. Thanks Curt. Check out my channel lots more.
Looks like they cut the front of the intake out to clear the distributor instead of contour it.
Big B sure did. To clear distributor and to straighten the plenum. Thanks for noticing. Please subscribe and share my friend.
The back of the valve has to see the carb booster. Looks like he !are no change to the combustion chamber though.
Combustion chamber is not changed. But all areas of valve guides brazed. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe and stay tuned.
So he's going to build up the engine on his stand ..but he's not going to use the heads and then he says he's not going to use the block either !!!! But he might use the carbs , maybe ????!!!???!!!???
Are you addressing me donnie baker?
the front plate was contoured in, to clear a distributor, since the intake had been lowered so much.
Thanks for commenting. Glad your on here Todd.
Super cool find.

It's very cool that you are saving as much of the old time Pro Stock Cleveland parts as possible!! Do you also play with the most modern stuff too? Like CHI or AFD heads, or Yates stuff? I see you have the new aluminum block, is that slated for the Cougar?
An all aluminum 400+ inch Cleveland based engine with the best aftermarket heads and intake, and I could see your Cougar easily running 8 seconds all motor!!
Biscuit Boy yes have quite a collection of aluminum heads. Not into Yates but my A3 heads which are the precursors to Yates, made the 752@7600. I got them ported and they picked up over 30cfm, flow 396 at .900. I should pick up a few hp. I have a set of afds and tfc intake ported by Darin Morgan. They are flowing in the same range. They should be good for 900 hp. Trying to sell them now. I bought the afds new in 2005. Never used them. Tfc is new too
Biscuit Boy I am going to dyno my 409 cleveland with my newly ported heads. My goal is 9.50, best so far is 9.66. Yes the TrackBoss aluminum cleveland will be 427ci. My goal is 850hp. Thanks for commenting, explore the channel lots of content, racing to building engines.
Technology has come leaps and bounds from those days now you can buy an off the shelf aftermarket head that will out flow these with ease.
ckelley63 of course. But they are not cast iron and have no history of winning pro stock races. I have plenty that will put perform them. But they sure can hold their own for 50 year old castings. Thanks for watching. Subscribe and share with your friends. Lots more to come.

That’s pretty cool...especially the reversion exhaust work....at the time the gm at morose raced a 351 c. And I used to machine the under exhaust seat for my idea or anti reversion.....had no clue if it worked or not the car did go a little faster...but to see that gladden was considering that when ? I was doing this in 72
Thanks Charles, for watching my videos. Can’t say exactly when, he or others were doing modifications. But small blocks did not come into pro stock until 75. I had talked to a guy on the channel, who was saying he was cutting heads for high ports at Ford in 72. So those type of mods would be right around that time frame. Thanks contributing to my channel. Way more in store
I always recall the Endyn controversy from '85, when Glidden and Elliott were reportedly running heads modified by Larry Widmer. I don't know if it's ever been verified that those teams ran his heads in the '85 season, a season in which both were breaking records.
nilla003 not sure on that. Larry is now partners with Mast Motorsports. Buddy on here Daniel Wilson has a set of his heads. They were flying back then. Thanks for watching please subscribe and share with your friends.
I talked to Larry about that a few times and he swears Glidden was using the "Super swirl" heads, I drove transport for Don Nicholson when he ran his last car around 89-97 and Don said the same thing about Glidden's magic heads coming from Larry. Never heard about Elliot though. I was wondering if maybe you know if anything came about pertaining to the theft of Don's last car, I know some strange situations came about resulting in it being illegally sold on Ebay and then it disappeared again. If you know or hear anything I'd appreciate the info.
Matthew Fogarty I am pretty sure Bob did his own heads. I have pic of head in his oven at his shop. He is heating it to braze. You can combustion chamber, when you see this you will be like Wow. Stay tuned. Again I never knew his car was stolen. Shat was it like to drive transport for Dyno? Thanks Matt
@ I will have to ck it out. Must be Boss 429 stuff, in that year. Darin Morgan is working with Mast Motorsports/Endyne. Larry is one of the best head guys so I have heard, Yes he was an innovator. Glidden said what brought his racing program down, was hiring people, and them taking his ideas, somewhere else. Yes, i have heard some stories about rip Dyno, from Randy Gillis.

I have to look it over again. But heads do have epoxy, from memory they line up. Would have to look again, but when I send to Morgan to go over if there are any issues with fittment hopefully gets taken care of. Good luck with the nascar build.
