I don't get involved with drama or stone throwing, My time is worth so much more, you only get so much of it. They are not all the same... as you will see as this history unfolds.
What part of to preserve our history don't you understand.
This is a attempt to save history.
Questions will only be about Chevrolet.
The efforts of the Chevy camp.
Let me remind you something to put your heart at ease.
The Wood Brothers often cheated in Nascar.
That is a part of history.
The good with the bad......this is for everybody.

I have a quest, and continue to see where it goes, glad you guys are here, just something you will not see on anywhere else....The racing that started over 50 years ago, that really started it all...Pro stock. I want to make one last place to find it all, best I can, with the time I have. Thanks Canada1, nothing negative from me, you know what they say. What goes around....I glad you guys get into not just pro stock stuff, but my own racing efforts, that have been disappointing to me to say the least. It has all happened for a reason, so I roll with it, and what happens, happens. All good so far....But it also has allowed me to build DBG, and learn a ton in the mean time. Bring this info and vids to you guys, share what I have learned, and what works for me. Have another cool road trip video on the way.....

This video is one I made on my road trip to Bischoff Racing engines, which is located in Guilford Indiana. I loaded up my truck with 5 sets of Cleveland 4v, and Motorsport Aluminum heads, tunnel rams, and TrackBoss parts to deliver to BES, to meet Tony Biscoff, Darin Morgan, and Rusty Glidden. Tony's shop is high tech to say the least, complete with multiple CNC machines, 2 dynos, and great group of hard working Engine Professionals. This is a working shop, with no time to sit around and chat. What impressed me the most, is no one has their cell phones out, and no standing around. I will work on a better video, and have Tony on Live Chat. I am having the Aluminum Cleveland TrackBoss Performance Products block, being shipped to BES, when it is done with the CNC stroker clearancing, hone the lifter bushings to .904, and 55 mm Manganese cam bearings installed. They are also going to start working on Steve Kenzles, iron high port Cleveland heads that have the fins in the Intake ports.The Pro Stock Tunnel rams, are going to be evaluated also. The iron 4V heads are going to need some valve guides replaced, cleaned, resurfaced, and valve job. Goal is not to port or modify anything. The heads will all be flow tested, and will post results, as they get done. Titanium valves are being ordered for secret A3 heads, they are going to also set of the T&D steel Rocker arms installed. Also custom work being done on the Ford Motorsport Intake, to help me make my goal of 850hp with a single carb. Thanks guys for watching. Here is a link to BES.

Welcome to Friday Night Live on DragBoss Garage (DBG). This the second round interview with Darin Morgan, with BES Racing Engines. He will discuss some questions that have been requested, more on his experience with pro stock racing, and head development. Information on head flow and induction dynamics. He can explain everything, in an easy, and smooth professional manner. He speaks to a degree, that you can just sit and listen, and will not leave your seat, 2 hours and 40 minutes last time. These are the principles, that you need to understand, this is why some guys are faster than others. We are Live 10/08/2021 at 7 pm, est. Stay tuned.

This is the first 351 Cleveland, that I have seen make over 1000 hp, NA. The engine is from ACM Engines, And Dyno. The engine was built by Adam Cope, he messaged me and told me it was built in line with super stock DMS/A rules , in Australia. Cleveland's are 7.25 lbs per cube. I don't have a lot of info, but I can tell you it is, 440 cubic inches, and based on the Arrow 351 Cleveland block. The heads are Scott Cook race heads ported by Tony Oconnor. Also a big thanks from Adam to Kim Baker.

This is the beginning of the series of interviews with Frank Marchese, with Dandy Engines in Vic Australia. He has been building some of the baddest engines in Australia for years, at Dandy Engines, owned by lou Ludica. His expertise is many of the fastest cars down under. He has a 1969 Ford Falcon Fairmont, weighs 3,850 lbs, that has run 6.96 at 211 mph, with big cube Windsor . Runs twin 88s. This was an interview that just happened. I was flattered to hear that Frank, can't wait to watch a new episode of DragBoss Garage, thank you so much for the kind words. I am honored to have you as a guest. Next time we chat, will be planned so both sides of the world can be there. We will talk about Frank's beginning into racing and engine building. We will talk Heads and cams, and engine building theory, and true world experience. So much more in store, Stay tuned.

I made this video to document, a week with Bob Glidden, with his early cars, initially, and then just the '76 Pinto. He raced a Fairlane, and Mustangs, in super stock, my favorite is his 68 Cobra Jet Mustang. The paint now, if it is the same car, is Killer Candy Red. I wanted to make it a week with Bob Glidden, Seeing the Pinto race, coming back to the shop, and get torn down. See inside the Ford 351 Cleveland he raced, check out his shop inside, I narrated it to give more insight, and detail on things you might know, if it was not pointed out. The Pinto is back together, and goes, and off to race The Gapp and Roush Pinto, wheeled by Ken Dondaro. Bob takes the win. I hope you guys appreciate it, stay tuned... MOre on the way. Credit for pics goes to Petersen Museum, all pics found on the net.
