I sold Fred a pair of MP solid aluminum Hemi heads a year or so before he passed on to hang with Sox and others. I never knew if they used those heads or not. Fred sent me a video of the turbo engine on the dyno and the square plenum box on top of the engine tried to turn cylindrical from the boost and split apart. I told him pressure vessels are always cylindrical or spherical. He proved why that is.

I met him at the 2008 Hemi Reunion and later at the York US 30 Reunion. I walked in the York show with Dick Oldfield and Fred never saw me. LOL! He sent me an e-mail the following week asking where I was. I told him I was with Oldfield and waited around for 15 minutes to say Hey! and left and walked around to look at the other cars.
