Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Man I hate it when everyone jumps on the band wagon and post crap like this before confirmation. I read it on Facebook that he died then alive and come on here and he's dead again


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Yeah, I jumped in and then thought is this true. I couldn't verify it and now it's not true.

Glad it's not true! Bob is to me up there with Jenkins in terms of Pro Stock innovation and dedication to Automotive Race Engineering excellence.

Are there any archival pics of his 340 Plymouth Arrow block and Head mods? I think he basically Invented the 48 degree block by having to re-angle the 59 degree Factory blocks so he could get his motor to reliably rev past 8K. He knew there was lots of power in the heads but the old Poly 59 degree carry-over architecture limited the engine speed.
