I'm a true Blue Ford Man. And I grew up loving The 427 Homan Moody Tunnel port My uncle had one in his race car. He passed away about 3 years ago and I have it now it's one of my favorite engines and he told me all the history about it. My uncle was a great mechanic and Racer. Thanks for the video. I am a big fan of Homan Moody.

Forgot frank Canon

I raced my 69 Mustang street car at Union Hill a few times in the early 90’s. I remember a fellow telling me about Bob back in the day racing there with a Maverick or Pinto sponsored by his employer Bob Friendsly Ford I believe and eventually able to purchase a Pinto from Jack Rauch. He was on such a tight budget that sometimes would wait at the gate for someone to pay his way in. Everyone said he was the hardest working racer there was. Definitely one of my heroes.

Bob Glidden was the best at what he was doing

I talked to Bob a few times and he was always easy to talk to as long as he wasn't busy. The last time I saw him was in Louisiana @ Red River Raceway. He would talk with you like an old friend. The man was a legend in his own time.

@ 4:30 good ol major corporations keeping the little guy's superior product down so they can cash in. Indeed the love of money is the root of all evil.

The Kelly Johnson of cams😅

I was born in 79' love my Fords but especially Foxbody Mustangs. Billy Glidden was always cleaning house back then in the late 90s in NMRA and NMCA, we could walk up to him in the pits and he and his wife(maybe gf then) were just amazing. Great family, I remember an article about Billy and it showed him on the floor with an engine on a cradle. Said, his said Dad didn't use fancy stands or anything that's didn't contribute to winning! Awesome video 👍

Was the 4 cyl hes talking about @ 15:23 turbocharged?

Mad Dog was the real deal. RIP Kind Sir!

Paint guy?

Dobermann s don't like people telling their people what to do

My parents had a Cessna 140 they kept in a row of T hangars across the ramp from H/M and the old Southern Airlines terminal. Dad and I used to wander over to the H/M facility. I never realized it was a barracks, but I do recall the bomb dump out behind it. Later they built a new facility on the other side of the runways by the old Berryhill school. I used to play in Fireball Roberts and Ned Jerritt's wreck cars.

Met Bob at Sears Point back in the late 80's. Cool guy signed my shirt. Still have the shirt.

Great stuff there

Darrell Alderman "cured" Warren Johnston, I was there !

A late good friend would talk about Warren Johnson as the best driver in drag racing. He would say, "Cry Baby Bob Glidden" often . This was before I knew anything about these two guy's personalities. My friend worked as a service manager for GM dealers after high school and was a die hard Chevrolet man. He raced Corvettes and Novas around the Cincinnati-Dayton area in the 1980's. As it turned out he helped me build my Pro-Street Falcon and even though he would kid me constantly about Fords and how bad they were, we developed a close relationship. This interview reminds me of him. Bob Glidden had the fire.

It's sad they waited this long, he was taking everyone out with that Cleveland he was the 🫅

I think Bob Glidden wouldn't have been much different without Warren Johnson racing in Pro Stock. Warren needed Bob to be at his, Warren's best. If that makes sense or not.

Car wasn’t on fire when he put jacket on the carb/intake. Some of these stories being told are completely pointless.

I remember when he ran a pinto

❤❤❤❤

My friend near by has a compete 427 Holman and Moody engine with matching Holman and Moody carbs.

I like your E-Bird the video is even better!

Holman & Moody meant quality, performance and FORD to me as a teenager, it still does today.

Pro Stock still requires endless hours of physical work and brain storming for a chance of preforming @ successful level. Only the tools used are very precise now

I met Bob at Pomona one bad dude

Need more hp, Bob?..propolineoxide much?

Back in the mid 80’s I used to drive a semi between LA and Las Vegas. Right after the final race at Pomona I had the pleasure of racing Bob (who drove his own transporter) up Cajon pass and literally all the way to Vegas one morning. He would pass me, I’d pass him and after three hours I beat him to my exit in Vegas. When I exited He waived as he drove past me. I always wanted to ask him if he remembered that. Always my favorite Pro Stock guy.

Loved Bob Glidden!

You are spot on-John wasn’t afraid to try anything to pick up a few HP. His “can do” attitude was contagious. I worked for him for 10 years. Some of my best memories are from that time. I’m sure many besides me have wondered how our lives would be different if not for John’s accident.

Bob Glidden was The Best !

I have a question when Carol Shelby was ordered to remove his engines out of the GT 40 and they were replaced with Ford factory engines and they failed at Le Mans due to head bolt stretch were those engines from Holman and Moody is what I would like to know and perhaps who was responsible for that

I watched his family overhaul a pro stock Ford at Brainerd International years ago. He patiently and kindly answered my questions even though they were under pressure to complete the car before the next round.

John was an engineer at International, one of the best. Godspeed old friend

I grew up in a race shop when I was a young kid sitting on my dad's lap he used to tell me stories about Bob Glidden and Holman & Moody and Carroll Shelby my dad was a big Ford guy I grew up in a race shop my family owns for 40 years. I started my racing career when I was 5 years old riding dirt bikes and then shifter karts quarter midgets and then dirt track racing then drag racing when I was 16 race until this day. Great time to be alive

That 427 sock.😂😮

I thought we were gonna talk about cams and not food

Flat_--wounds!

🔥

RIP John Lingenfelter. I still have one of his Superram intakes on my C4 Corvette. He was the first guy to really dig into making power with the EFI port injected engines starting in the late 1980's. When everybody else was complaining about the end of hot rodding because "you can't work on these computer cars", Lingenfelter was moving forward and figuring out how to make it work. I interviewed for a job at Lingenfelter's twice; in 1996, then again in 2018. I didn't get to interview with John in 1996 because he was thrashing with an engine on the dyno. In 2018 I interviewed at the Lingenfelter's branch in the Detroit Metro area, when Ken Lingenfelter's car collection is stored. Ken is a top-notch car guy, too. He had some cars that I never even knew existed, such as a pre-55 Corvette with a supercharged Blue Flame 6. GM evaluated that before putting the V8 into the Corvette.

If glidden hadn’t got caught with secret compartments in the intake manifold …listen to this guy ya its cold cheating lmao

My dad Rex Carson was a good friend of Ed's. My dad is 90 now and has hours on hours of recordings of him and Ed talking about cams, and carburetors and many other things everything.

no one had a clue as to why lingenfelter's nhra ss/ 350 corvette absolutely walked away from everyone once he hit 3rd gear. years later he admitted that chevrolet was allowing him to test a lock up torque convertor before the company put one in any of their production cars. he also showed us little racers how to plumb a fuel pressure regulator on each holley fuel bowl and run return lines back to the tank because the regulators were restictive.

Why is this video so damn short?

I meet this guy WHAT A DICK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pete Taylor was the man awesome engine builder

16.49 The reason Bob was suddenly behind the gm cars. gm made new modern engine designs and could not beat him so, pull a nascar and change the rules.

Does anyone know if Tommy Turner started at Holman Moody? One of the underrated but great engine builders in racing.
