Vietnam Vet67 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I worked at Dodge Motorsports from 1966 to 2007. In 1978 and 1979 I was running a race dyno doing development for Don's Plymouth Arrow.................what a blast. Making power runs to 10,000 rpm with a destroked 340"...............I think it was 288" cubic inch engines. Worked with him again around 2005-2006 when he was doing some development for us also. Great guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
