This car goes 8.70's at over 150 with a smallblock and no power adder. My brother talked to him once and said it was loosely based on a nascar truck engine with 2 fours on a sheetmetal intake??? Maybe someone else who has seen it knows more? I like this car since it carries the mopar flag well. Tons of character and stupid fast.
What does it weigh?
Has to be 2500lbs or less!!

Ouch that hurt, I guess my junk that ran 8.50's on N2O @ 3350# and in the 4's (1/8 mi.) boosted was just that, JUNK.

Your car is far from junk. You race your car on the track, not the dyno or computer keyboard. Just remember, that is the difference here, most of these guys build motors on the desktop dyno, and state what they "SHOULD" run in a perfect world, and have no idea what to put around a good combo to make it go down the track.
Mike, your car is bada$$ without a doubt.

Oh, and one more thing. Mike and Leon have tested more small blocks in their cars over the years than you can shake a stick at. So if anyone would know, it would be one of them. Granted, they are class racing, but it was mentioned a 3000lb car. Anyone can throw a couple of hp at a 1500 dragster and go fast, but pushing a aerodynamically challenged musclecar through the air is a totally different ball game.  carry on

Are you asking about the 331" engines that he used to use?
If you are, I can give you the benefit of an engine that I almost bought about 20 years ago.
It was a 9.30" deck, X block, 4 bolt mains, with a billet lifter bore fixture to yield about 48 degree bore angle. It used a billet Moldex 3.20" crank with a standard 4.040" bore to get the 331". The cam was Isky roller---about .700" lift with Norris rockers. Venolia dome pistons, Venolia aluminum rods---don't remember the rings.
The heads were Diamond aluminum W2s, standard type chamber, 2.12" intake X 1.60" exhaust, fully ported.
The intake was an Edelbrock 2 X 4 tunnel ram intake, with modified plenium, fully ported.
There were a couple of these engine for sale years ago in Chattanooga, TN---don't remember how they ended there. And I am sure he used different versions---there was a lot of R & D going on back then.

I have no idea. I know the hood is fiberglass, but not sure about the rest of it. It's not a lightweight tube frame car with a challenger body over it. The engine must turn 9k at least. Sounds awesome going through the gears.

Anyone know exactly what was the combo that Bob Glidden ran?? Just wondering, They shouldnt be that spendy now. Sure they were state of the are back in the day.
Kasey
I'm not sure what Block he ran,but I saw an article once back in '79 about the heads. They were w2s but everything was changed & welded on like some kind of frankenstein head. The block also had the lifter angles changed & cam relocated. It was probably the first 48 deg setup. Randy
