DBG/Larry Meaux Racing Heads: How Much HP Did Bob Glidden's 79 Pro Stock Plymouth Arrow make? 800+

- This video was one that I did plan to make. I had made the video on Bob Glidden's 79 Plymouth Arrow. It showed the history, and Restoration of the car. I added a link to the original video. Larry Meaux, From Meaux Racing Heads, contacted me and was impressed with the video, and all the pics I had gathered. He has all my episodes recorded, and organized. Thanks Larry for watching DragBoss Garage.
He told me he had an original Bob Glidden 337 ci Pro Stock engine, back in 1989. He had flowed the heads, and still had the flow sheets. He also had an original Holley Pro Dominator tunnel ram, that was welded and ported by Bob. Larry Meaux owns, and developed MaxRace Software company. He developed the Pipemax, ET Pro/Analyzer, these are a complete set of programs, that can be used for developing engines, head work, dyno and drag simulations. Larry has been porting cylinder heads and flow bench work since 1972. He also is tops in engine Dyno tuning.
Larry took the modified W2 head flow figures he had, and all the build specs for one of Bob Glidden's 337 ci Pro Stock Engines, and incorporated the data into his program. He also used his best time for the 79 Arrow, 8.43. at 161mph. Larry input the data into his MaxRace Software, PipeMax, to come up with HP numbers, cam specs, and a myriad of information. Larry then placed HP, and other info, into his ETa Analyzer, and came up with the ETs, and others numbers.
It is amazing the information that can be obtained, using his PipeMax Software. Larry is developing new versions of his software versions, and may come on and do a live chat, make sure you ask him too in the comment section.
DragBoss Garage" Where Your Always Seeing, and Learning Something New" Thanks Larry Meaux Racing Heads
Thanks for giving us an insight into an incredible man who was a hero for me and I am sure to you as well! We cannot all know everything about Bob Glidden but your videos gave us an inside look that can never be repaid by racers and enthusiasts all over.
Thanks Ben, trying to learn what we can from who we can. And have it all in one place. He sure was my hero 🇺🇸🏁
As a loyal chevrolet man. My family owned the chevrolet dealership in our small town. I had nothing but respect for this man
As a loyal Ford man, he is the man. So knowledgeable and willing to share. Not many guys like this around anymore. Thanks for watching Jason
Bob was such an innovator!! A true legend!! I love that guy,, Rest in Peace!! Always my Hero!! Keep up the good work DragBoss , and Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊
Thank you my friend, he was the man the myth and the legend. Rip. My hero too. I will continue the quest
You see this man right here, Mr Larry Meaux…🙏🏾. I know this guy makes big horsepower in racing heads down in Louisiana… Killer street cars had them…
Right on brother, he is the man, the myth and legend. It was an honor to have him help me with this video.
Really appreciate all the old school knowledge being shared before it disappears for good . I was brought up on 351 clevelands here in Australia in the early 70s and love all the old muscle cars nowdays no matter the breed.
I really appreciate you watching and enjoying my quest. Please share with your mates and keep this channel growing. Old school kool. Stay tuned.
The amazing thing about this era is that it was only quarter mile et and speeds that were displayed. The speed trap of the era was 66 foot before and 66 foot after the finish line, or a total timed distance of 132 feet. It would not be uncommon to see him produce such low speeds with this car, much like the fairmont, because of pulling the chute early and increasing that time span. The speed trap was shortened to just 66 feet for 1989. No more "driving it out the back door." It was NHRA's effort to slow the cars down. Also consider that incremental timing blocks were not present until the mid to late 80s. The 60 foot clock appeared around 1987 and the 330 and 660 clocks did not show up until the 1988 winternationals. It was 1989/1990 before you even had half track speeds and 1,000 foot ets. I say it is amazing because I feel like that car accelerated down track way better than people realized, but there was nothing to compare it to. You couldn't go test someplace like you could today and just make 60 foot or half track runs and get an idea of what the car was doing, there were no clocks to support it. Not to bring up a sore subject, but the incremental clocks are what got people to start pointing fingers at the Wayne County Dodge because the numbers were way off everyone else but the finish line was the same. I don't mean to say that Bob was cheating, I say it because he was even better than his time slips showed. The track and tire technology of today will never let us know how well he was really running back then, but I'd love to see someone take the replica car on an all out pass now to see what it would really do. I'm guessing there is another .05 to .10 of a second that Bob was holding in the bank, and another 5-8 mph. I'm guessing there was a lot of testing done back then and the Glidden family knew exactly what they were holding thanks to a test session somewhere or track rental away from the public eye.
Thanks for the comment. Lots of good info. I had no idea on any of the track timing or development. I agree, he had more in it. In match race trim, I think he went 8.3x. I have heard the same thing about ET/mph with Wayne County. I remember his first runs in 79, pulled the car out of trailer and went 8.60, grumpy was there with his mouth hanging open.
,,, the incremental timing helps tremendously , to be able to spot a weakness , and then target that area . Of course the really well direct connected had some incrementals , at closed test sessions ; although I am not 100 percent sure of this . I heard that Mopar did set up some occasionally .
@@rolandtamaccio3285 agreed, the more info you have, the faster you may go..
Don't forget one thing about Glidden - to him it was etched in stone that the first 120 or so feet were absolutely critical. Long before there was a major attention to 60' times, Etta was out on the starting line with a video camera, recording chassis reaction, squat, tire wrinkle and slippage.
After each pass they were back in the trailer, they knew tape speed and calculated time/place in a run, and had visual reference of the hit, and how it reacted and where.
Just one more detail that made Glidden the best of the best.
@Motor-City-Mike thank you for the additional information. How do you know this is so? A true pioneer of racing
I grew up idolizing Bob. Thanks
Me too, from 75 on.
Great Video Tim! Glidden was in a league by himself...
Absolutely Andy. Crazy how he saw airflow, a talent that some have. I appreciate your friendship and support.
Great Vid Tim👌🏼, it’s all in the 60ft for them……750-800hp is on the money. Power/Weight & Trap Speed tells it all……..🔘🏁
Right on Mate, you got that right. Appreciate you being here my friend. Hope all is well down under 🇦🇺
@@DragBoss351Cleveland always buddy👍🏼🏁, things are all good down under thank you🤜🏼🤛🏼….likewise 🇺🇸.
These ProStock combinations are badass for the day, immensely reworked over like you’ve shown (valve train reworked, port putty, re-welding & shaping etc) they had to otherwise they’d remain just being that 600hp combo (which isn’t bad either lol) with just old 70s oem gear…… imagine the 409 in a 2300lb Lenco backed big tyre Pinto…..oh boy 🚀 🏁
@@69JANKS Glad to hear mate. You are so right, for the time period, killer numbers. I have thought about that before, 409 in 2350 lbs. low 8s for sure?
@@DragBoss351Cleveland 👍🏼, it’ll be badass…..my point being is that for every 110lb there’s a tenth, plus the fact of running a Lenco (not Auto) plus the fact of better 60ft times over the Cougar & it’s effect it’ll have in et all by itself, & then the Weight of course…… i can easily see mid-8s in all that over your cougars 9.6 pass……and all with 775hp 🤷🏻♂️🏁……
@@69JANKS right on mate, easily with all the factors.
Tim your work and wealth of information you share here deserve nothing but respect.
Thank you your words speak volumes, I’m just the Mark Twain of Racing, trying to give back to those that seek knowledge, stay tuned because you never know what’s next. Glad you’re here.
love the vids you do about bob glidden and other historic ford racers. great vid. i wish there was a video showing grumpy's head dropping in dismay when bob and the arrow laid down a scalding pass that was much quicker than everyone else the very first run out of the box. however, the eyewitness account in one of your vids is absolutely priceless.
Yes Bob that eye witness was from Dave Koeffel, who got Glidden to leave Ford for Chrysler. Yes that picture would have sold for millions.
Great video Tim. The most impressive thing about Bob was his ability to make anything a winner. I'm sure that if he had been sponsored by Briggs and Stratton, he would have won using one of their motors as a base. Keep them coming,. Regards Greg
GDay, glad you enjoyed this video, long but needed it all there. I agree, B/S and he would be gone to the finish. Take care Greg
Congratulations 🎊 on almost 20 thou!!
I'm trying Chad, I keep the faith, and the door will open
Hey Tim it's good to see you, when's the last time you saw Bob Glidden heads on RUclips oh I remember it was right here on dragboss, you always bring us the best stuff that you don't see anywhere else, I deeply appreciate you bringing us the Bob Glidden stuff Tim along with all the great information you pass along with other videos, thanks for sharing this with us
Thanks Terry. I alway say. “DragBoss Garage, wheee you’re always seeing and learning something new. I try and keep that mantra. I am glad you enjoy my work and others who present here. Finishing up 4500 adapter for the 600hp 354 Cleveland. Just the adapter alone I have 5 hrs in. Crazy thanks for being here
Great video once again Tim 👌
They really had the front half of the run dialled in to run mid 8’s at only 145/150mph
Great era of racing where it took some trial and error to make gains, I wish I was in the industry back in those days, thanks for sharing great content as per usual mate 👍
Your welcome mate, glad you’re here. They sure did, blood sweat and metal filings everywhere. I always wish I was older, so I could experience it first hand. Cheers
Great video Tim. To see Sox jump the way he did just goes to show the amount of hard work the Glidden's put into their program. Two of my all time favorites, Glidden and Sox, would always hang out in Bob"s pit during a National Event but was fortunate to live down the street from Ronnie and would hang out at his shop every chance I got. Thanks for sharing, take care.
Thanks Ken, glad you enjoyed it. Cool to see the details of Bobs engine back then, and to get an idea of how much hp they made. Your experience with them both, will never be topped.
Hey Tim great stuff.thanks for honoring Glidden the way you do.Met him in las Vegas when he was doing exhibition in the new cobra jet mustang .he raced his son.still have the autographed poster he gave me.he was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to.1 of the best.thanks again Tim keep it coming.
thank you Anthony, I only met him once, and agree 100 percent. He was with Billy at an NMRA race. I will keep on keeping on...
Went to the Philippines again for all December. Was the first time all my daughters got to go....so special ! Glad to hear you had a well earned holiday too. Giidden stuff....I soak up like a sponge ! Any Clevo Bob built was more powerful than his Mopar's though !!
Glad you had family time together. Memories that last a lifetime. I do too, enjoy seeing his work first hand. Yes Clevo to the front 🏁
Good to see ya tim.ya need time to do you and your family hope you had a holiday period. Ya car sounds nice .its wayne for Australia new phone ect .peace
Hey Wayne from 🇦🇺. Thanks for understanding. Sometimes need to step away from it all. Come back fresh. Yes the Cougar is finally close to testing, stay tuned🏁
Thanks Tim. Awesome video.
Thanks Mike. Appreciate you. Get that streamlined Cleveland built in South Africa 🇿🇦
@@DragBoss351Cleveland Busy on it brother. Thanks.
Thank You, outstanding depth of information
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@DragBoss351Cleveland, I was at the Winters when he debuted this car, sure did not sound like a small block!
@derrelcarter9401 I know not it. Has that cackle to it. Can hear the compression.
Hey Drag Boss great video. Glidden has a good eye for cars ... all his cars are gorgeous! Just the look with that stance to me is amazing. ( your cougar's stance is sweet too)
Thank you so much Ronald, I really appreciate the kind words. I agree with 100% wouldn’t have the eye and the brain. Glad you’re here. Stay tuned.
Another awesome video. Thank you Tim!
thank you, trying to keep you learning Mav
great video...although i am a Ford man,i really like this car.Bob was very talented.
Me too, I like any car Bob drove. Talent was his middle name.
Thanks again dragboss very cool
Your Welcome Steve Cleveland, more pro stock on the way
awesome video Tim, that small Chrysler was making big power!
No doubt, and we have the numbers to back it up. 800hp, not 900+, still there are disbelievers, so be it.
Im glad your back. I sure hope you don't we quit doing this. I learn something every video.
Hey Steve, back in the game. I have thought about it, but just so much information I want to document. I will say making videos is not easy at times. I could not get this done, just needed a brake I guess. Thanks for being here. More in store….🏁
Im a simple man. I see "Dragboss" I smash the like
Man i like that Chad, "Smash away"
Thinkin’ it way kewl and a acknowledgment of what you’re doing and the value of your video’s, for the people / names reaching out to you with references, resources, information, and experiences,that probably could be considered sacred, in the world of Pro-Stock.
Hope y’all had a happy holiday, and thanks for sharing.
Thanks George, I keep the faith and the doors open. I have been thinking about all the knowledge that has been presented in the live chats. Your right lots of the top guys in the porting world. I am humbled by their presence and willingness to share. You never know what’s next at DBG
The only thing Glidden was using straight out of the box back then was his Cornflakes lol.. That Software is amazing Tim. My friend has a Dobie, cropped ears and docked tail which is illegal to do now,
Farley, you so right, not even sure about the Cornflakes..Our Dobie, is the best dog, I have ever seen. We took him to training, for myself/Family. Still trains twice daily, or he does not eat. Strong Dog in every aspect. Before training, he was Alpha all the way, he would attack me every night we were outside about 5:30-6pm, like clock work. He was only 40-50 lbs, but tough. I would battle him in the yard, until I got him down, calmed him. We were ready to give him up, until we learned the secret....Missed you Mate
Good information and video......always interesting to hear about how the guys of yesteryear did it
I agree, lots of stuff we probably do not know about. I enjoy finding out the details and as much information as I can. I try and present it best way i know possible. Someone commenting, saying no way that small block mopar could make 800 hp. You know the answer to that.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland LOL.....typical RUclips
Great info once again!
The newer r blocks were 48 degree and also 59 degree.
I run 48 degree on my combo. Straightened out the push rods.
Thanks Chuck, crazy the amount of work they went through, to get what they could from the platform involved with. I read some of the limitation of the 59 degrees. off the record. I always wanted to build a bad W2 headed 340..
Awesome video
Thanks for the visit, hope you hang around my friend
Your right. There does seem to be a disconnect between the 8.48 elapsed time and a speed of only 149 to 150 mph. I would expect trap speed to have been about 10mph faster. It does look like Glidden pulls the chute a little early. Back then trap was measured based on 60’ before and 60’ after the finish line. So, throwing out the laundry 60’ before the finish line probably knocked some trap speed off.
Exactly, faster you go, the more weight you get to carry, I like his quote, when asked are you Sandbagging by Steve Evans
It was and is common practice to clip it early before the mph beam. Doesn't affect the et as much as you think
@treyrags agreed. I love how Bob is speechless for a second when Steve asks him, lol
Yeah he didn't want to give anything away! @@DragBoss351Cleveland
@DragBoss351Cleveland We used to do that fairly regularly when we could to save engine wear, confuse competitors, or protect our class index. It's nice to be running and driving well enough to be in that position
Awesome Video! Thanks DB
Any time! Robert
Yeah, man. Glidden was the man. If Sox had to red light for a chance, well then. Love to visit your shop one day
Right on Peter, he sure was. Sox, knew he had cut the filament out of the bulb. Hey stop by Peter
Glidden was my favorite drag racer when I was a kid!!!
@@MrWill73 Mine too! I loved his work ethic and never give up attitude. RIP to the GOAT!
@@mikeleschber33 Thats one of the things I loved about him. He would build a motor on a table and beat everyone with it while other guys had state of the art shops. I loved his old school, basic and hardcore racer attitude. Definitely is the G.O.A.T👍👍👍👍
Great video again! Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! Tim what a lot of small cubic inch Mopar engine info that BG used in his engine program. I ran a W2 headed 345 cu in engine program. 13 to 1 TRW piston, Bill Miller aluminum rods, factory forged crank, factory 340 block Holley strip Dominator intake and Crower solid roller. Oh, and to small of carb 750 DP. I campaigned in a 71 Duster…. ❤ the video👍🏻

@@DragBoss351Cleveland I wish you did a video every day!!!👍
@@22vampyreI thought about that just quick hi, this or that, but don't want to waste you or any other subs time. You know me always something to talk to about
I talked with Bob and Etta at their shop when they went to Dodge. Was buying some Ford parts so that opened the door for a couple questions.
I asked them what was the difference between their program and the rest of us and it came down to his ability to work around the clock and do this daily. The man had endurance to die for. Never took a break unless it was necessary. Guy's like me got up, traveled to our job, drove home and did the things around the house and worked on the car as much as possible. He did say, you can't do this that way. If you work like I do you'll get there. Unbelievable.
So cool to hear John. Words of wisdom. What parts did you buy? He was the hardest working man in racing.
@DragBoss351Cleveland Quite a while back I sent you a note about buying 3 furnace brazed blocks. After this last video on the Dodge, I thought it proper to bring up a tidbit of information to some new folks who may not have read the older post.
@@JohnH.-qp6fb you sent me an email? I do not remember this? Only that you bought some parts? Are you talking cleveland furnace brazed?
More realistic HP number.... that 975HP out of 314c.i....No way in 1979... 2020, the best guys with all the best parts are killing themselves to get like 2.9 HP per cube... with a small block..Great Video Tim...
Thank you. Very much appreciated. That number is high no doubt. But as Larry mentioned or I put the slide in, that dynos have so many factors that affect hp numbers. That hp number is from the last rebuild a couple of years ago, not 1979. Thanks
@@DragBoss351Cleveland....Well i suppose if the exact same motor goes back in the car, it goes down the black track, we can see what it does...The current numbers look very realistic, head flows, and in reality what those 1979 parts could do, even add 40 HP on, which is way more than Landys motor.... Like real modern facts, Australian pro stock 400ci-nearly 1200HP.. American pro stock 500ci-1500HP. look at the parts, heads, blocks,pistons,manifolds....space age technology,intake ports raised sky high.........1979 was a different ... ive ported W2 heads, and 337cfm with Bobs work looks feesable...... 400 cfm, i think no way.... Anyway, looking forward to seeing your Trackboss motors happen.....Keep well...
@@drcolster the owner that restored the car, took it down the track and with letting off, he said it went 8.60s. Amazing how technology had skyrocketed in engines. Just fyi. The most HP you can make out of 500ci, is 1500 hp NA. I am dying to get Cougar down the track. One of the reasons I started this channel. Keeping the faith.
314ci = 750hp

Greetings from Scotland.
Great channel. I subscribed. So much info would you ever do an Etta Glidden interview? I've learened allot watching your videos also on the engineering. Simply amazing. All before my time. But became aware of Bob Glidden in 88 /89.
Minimal satellite coverage then.
Thank you my Friend from Scotland. Etta has no interest in talking about racing anymore, so I was told. I would sure enjoy that too, I will keep trying. I saw Bob for the first time in 1975
@DragBoss351Cleveland aww but understandable. She's just as fascinating.
You're a great presenter, and I love your dedication and passion.
What original Glidden cars still exist out of curiosity? Working my way through your videos.
@@edgarbeat2851 I know the 78 Fairmont, is owned by someone I know, no idea after that. I worked on this video for a few weeks, just could not get it done for some reason. Thanks again, your always seeing, and learning something new at DBG(DragBoss Garage)
Bob pulled the chute early a hundred plus times . It hit just as the tire crossed the e.t. bulb , and had very little or nothing to do with e.t . ,,, 8.59 is closer to 160 MPH , than 150 .

Nearly three-thousand views in seventeen hours! The DragBoss audience has been hungry for a while. Come and get it... The feast is now served! The last six or so weeks of fasting were for good reason. The best reason of all... Family. This post will certainly prompt many opinions and conversations in respect to Bob Glidden's brief move to Plymouth and his success that never wavered. Hard work, dedication and family involvement were always the keys to his accomplishments no matter the endeavor or the brand campaigned. Bob was known for "putting out the laundry" early in a run which held the speed down. This was usually his normal procedure. It began during his early years in Pro-Stock and continued throughout. Bob, the poker player. In Bob's words, when Steve asked him if sandbagging, Glidden replied, "No, not really." 😉The dyno results of approx. 800 H.P. for the little Chrysler Engine is feasible given the later Pro-Stock small-block development and technology of those years. As mentioned, Dyno figures vary given conditions, adjustments and the actual Dyno utilized. The technical documentation presented is at times fuzzy but much of it goes to support the engine's capability. It would be great to have Larry Meaux speak to clarify, the analytical procedures and the results. Ready for more, Mr. DragBoss! And Thank You for the kind reference to "Rocky." All of our four-legged furry friends will be waiting for us at the Gates when our time comes.
Thanks Bill, you are so right, Family is one of the main reasons we are here. It's like I had video block. We were able to spend lots of Holiday Family fun Together. So thank you for missing me, lol. I have seen Bob pull the cord, early in a few vids. I had said that same analogy about poker. Know when to hold, fold, and pull the cord. The information is so in depth, hard to give an easy explanation. I will see if I can get Larry on for a chat. I wondered if you would catch me mentioning Rocky, rip. Thanks Bill, stay tuned, more pro stock on the way...
Put it in 4 gear boss did you see Glidden had a dobby too thats cool.
I sure did riffle, warmed up enough, now time to pave the way. Yes I saw their Dobie in pics in vids in past. Rusty told me, he was an awesome dog.
Why didn't the TR supplier leave a little more "meat"where the Tunnel Ram, top of the intake port, come together? Look closely you can see welding to ad a little metal. I still have this same problem 35 years later, including Chevy stuff. There is no room for the gasket.
A question that has been pondering the minds of men for generations Steve
Where did Dick landys Arrow go? And I'm sure that someone has the majority of the engine parts, and another Arrow pro stock racer in the late 70s was Butch Leal, wonder what happened to his car and engine hopefully it's someplace in a garage in southern California where he originally came from
I have no idea on that. I know Butch Leal watches and was asking about me so I heard. Be nice to have him on for a live chat. I bet there is a whole. Bunch of those parts in the corner of a garage or shop.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland I wonder if Butch did the radical lifter bore modification to his X blocks as well because I do know that the lifters were at a severe angle laying close to the block valley wall and when you dropped in the push rods they also had to go up in the head at a severe angle, but it worked. I read a article about Dick landys approach to correct that problem I see that you have the photos of his block, yep where the breathing vents are he would lop the inner lifter bores away length wise front to back and actually made chrome moly tubing and metal straps to tie everything together while brazing was being done and he used something called mastic to close up the original lifter bores, also in his cylinder heads he would use that stuff to shape the ports much like what you showed us with the Glidden heads, oh and before I forget after many years of wonder what happened to a certain silver gray mustang II it was in a video it locked like it was made years ago but Jack Rouch and a Ford engineer were responsible for the build in Jacks shop it had a bored and stroked 460 poked out to 505, hot rod magazine did the feature on the car but never followed up on the car and I was just a kid coming out of high school , that was bad ass it had plenty of tire stuffed between the wheel tubs and this was before pro street, wonder what they did with that car?
Landy ran a Dodge 024/Charger body.
@@user-ye3ty9zd2l he also ran the arrow before the O24
Why would Glidden go back to Ford, they never supported him and he's got factory backing with Chrysler. He would be No.1 if they were racing Yugo's. It's a complete package, bumper to bumper, and no one worked harder.
No one. So true, he had to win to eat and feed his family
Meaux better cylinder heads. Hey Meaux, look at the grouse!
Indeed they are. What grouse, all I saw were titanium valves?
Even Steve Evans, confirmed NHRA ADDING WEIGHT TO GLIDDEN,,,TAKEING AWAY ON THERE FAVORITE BRANDS.
Trying to keep a good racer down. Nhra loves Chevy.
With the heads flowing 338 cfm and the camshafts they were running back then there is NO way the engine made 800hp NO WAY
Right, so how did he run the numbers he did? Thanks for watching
@@DragBoss351Cleveland what was the weight break for the dodge combo?
@@erikalston4496 it was in the video, did you watch it?
Weight 2369lbs for the ET and mph the engine was making 720hp no where near 800hp
The weight break is Not in your video. But the weight of 2369lbs which is Incorrect was. The weight break in 1979 for the Plymouth engine was 6.65 per cube. So at 314ci The Arrow only had to weigh 2088lbs with driver which means the engine only made 650hp... 😊Like I said NO WHERE NEAR 800HP
Great video, Tim! I would love to have you do a live chat with Larry. I think he's done a whole lot in his life that deserves to be documented.
I know it Sean, I just messaged him, to see if he would do it, since many want to hear his story
