Ok two questions One : how was this a Sox And Martin campaigned car as ran when the Ball Stud Hemi was a development mule engine? Two: who is Dick “ Landis “? Is he related to Dick Landy ? 🤷🏻♂️
Oh one more thing , I don’t recall any notchback Barracuda campaigned by Sox and Martin in 1969 . I thought they ran 68 Super Stock Hemi Barrracuda fastback and 69 GTX , maybe a Road Runner
The ball stud hemi was never raced in this car. I believe more of the history behind this car can be found in an article titled "the little cuda that could" in an older car magazine (2008-2009?). I think Tom Hoover had this car for 30 years before he sold it.
John Wilburn I did see an article with Aruzza and this engine years ago. What ever happened to that guy? I know he did live not far from me in Pittsboro NC. Then he like disappears.
and the guy is asked by Scottie if the hood scoops are for cooling and he states yes!!! They're fake, check the underside of the hood when it's open.....no holes!!! All cuda A56, A57 or these A13's had fake scoops.
I know your mopar guys are passionate but how many can quote chapter and verse on 180 cars especially after only being around it for a few days. Go to the Chrysler museum and ask them to start up a car and let you tape it. Many thanks to Don and Natmus for opening their doors to you , I never new the car existed before they got it . I am sure Don will learn more about the car in the future It is a bad ass car. Many thanks to you for finding it and making it available for us all to see
That's correct, but at first it seemed to imply that two of these cars with this motor existed. It is a great video of the car and motor, but I wish more real facts were told. Sox and Martin had nothing to do with these motors and only built a "cheater motor" for the original owner of this car and that's why there are S&M decals on the car.
The ball-stud hemi (known internally as A279 and affectionately as the BS Hemi)[1] was an automobile engine designed by Chrysler Corporation in the late 1960s.[2] It never entered production.[3] Intended to deal with the troubles created by the low-production 426, of which only about 9,000 were built from 1966 to 1972),[4] as well as the different architectures of the higher-volume 383 cu in (6.3 l) and 400 cu in (6.6 l) B and 440 cu in (7.2 l) RB V8s, the ball-stud hemi was to be suitable for high-volume manufacture at low cost while generating high performance.[4] Chrysler hoped to replace three block and two head designs with the ball-stud design.[4] It was to be based on a low-deck block and available in 400 cu in (6.6 l) (4.34 by 3.38 in (110 by 86 mm))[5] and 440 cu in (7.2 l) 4.32 by 3.75 in (110 by 95 mm))[5] displacements[4] (and Chrysler considered a 444 cu in (7.3 l),[4] which could have used stock 4.34 in (110 mm) 400 cu in (6.6 l) pistons),[5] while the new valvetrain would cut both weight and cost,[4] as well as making it possible to fit it in a greater variety of models.[4] The A279 initially used the B-block head bolt pattern, which "badly hampered" its exhaust ports,[1] forcing the use of a serpentine flow around some of the outer bolts[1] This was changed late in development,[1] but not before some tooling based on the original design had already been created.[1] This meant the head was not truly hemispherical, but had more intake port area than exhaust (3.575 sq in (23.06 cm2) versus (2.488 sq in (16.05 cm2)).[1] Its intake valves were nearer the intake manifold, exhaust valves nearer the exhaust pipes.[1] The staggered "poly" arrangement improves airflow by "reducing valve shrouding and eliminating the sharp runner turns" of inline valve arrangements.[1] It also had equally spaced intake ports (similar to the 428SCJ), thereby achieving "more consistent mixture distribution" than the Wedges.[1] Chrysler used a 14 mm (0.55 in) spark plug, rather than the typical 18 mm (0.71 in), in an effort to fit it as centrally as possible in the combustion chamber.[1] The intake and exhaust valves were the same size as the 426's,[6] the 2.25 in (57 mm) intake canted at 15° from the bore centerline, the 1.94 in (49 mm) exhaust at 6°.[6] By contrast, the B-block's were 2.08 in (53 mm) and 1.74 in (44 mm).[6] Compared to the wedge, the ball-stud block had two additional clean-out holes to remove casting sand, because the large bore made coolant in the water jacket very significant,[6] and an additional oil drainback hole at either end of the block, due to demand for lubrication of the rocker arms.[1] Suggestions to increase the size of the oil pump pickup to 3⁄8 in (9.5 mm) (compared to the 426's 1⁄2 in (12.7 mm)) never passed the endurance testing stage.[6] Pistons were to be cast aluminum.[6] Compression ratio was targeted as 10.5:1; on the surviving engine, it was measured at 9.8:1.[1] Forged conrods used the Wedge's 3⁄8 in (9.5 mm) hardware, as opposed to the Hemi's 7⁄16 in (11.1 mm), but would nonetheless have been considered high-performance parts.[1] The intake was to be a single Carter ThermoQuad, of greater flow than any previously used, on a dual-plane intake manifold,[5] while dual four-barrels were never even considered, in the face of toughening emissions standards.[1] A split-level (vertically split, rather than horizontally divided) intake was also experimented with.[5] Chrysler hoped to have the ball-stud in production sometime between 1971 and 1973.[4] In testing, it proved able to outperform the single four-barrel carburetted A134 440, and lagged behind the eight-barrel A102 426 Street Hemi.[7] About one year of development was put in before the project was stopped, in late 1969.[4] It wa a victim of increasing demand for emissions controls and a reduction in emphasis on performance, as the "horsepower wars" wound down.[4] Moreover, Chrysler was suffering "severe financial stresses" that nearly brought the company down,[8] so the new production tooling and facilities were now uneconomic.[4] Estimates of the number built vary from three to twelve.[4] Only one is known to survive.[4]
Every Mopar fanatic sould read your post. The ball-stud Hemi should have been Chrysler's answer to Chevy's big block back in 64 instead of the costly to build, application limited Hemi.
Beautiful Barracuda Scottie looks like it was just built wow the stance on it. Perfect size and weight for racing. The motor is clean can't see plugs from the top. Sounds Healthy. This once was in a museum.
Now THIS is what I've talking about!!! I'm a huge Mopar fanatic and I've never heard of a "Ball Stud" Hemi! Thanks so much for shooting and sharing this video!!! It's a great example of Mopar and Sox & Martin Racing history!!! Thanks ScottieDTV!!! =D
I love it. I never knew of it before but what a piece of history. Great info on wikipedia by searching "Chrysler ball Stud Hemi".Thanks for shooting this Scottie. I'm going to have to go to the museum.
Power shifting without using clutch, just hold gas pedal to the floor and pull or push the shift arm, just as fast as automatic trans. Plus you can leave the starting line quicker with a clutch during this time period.
Hey Scottie Im from Morocco, we don't see much americans muscle cars her but waching your vidéos give me a better idea about so thanks a lot ... its always a pleasure to watch a new video of yours
It's cool that engine runs, but I would have left it in it's ORIGINAL configuration seeing as how there's only ONE. Now nobody will know what it originally sounded like
It was modified before John Arruzza got it. Dick Landy swapped the cam and did some other work to it prior. I have a video dropping shortly on the history of this motor and get into it.
Used to watch. Ronnie run. I day I was looking at my old school year books a found out I went to middle school w his daughter plus years later I met his son at the strip bar. Blew my mind. They were regular people a must of been very secret ( his rides were the BOSS)! Rip
Damn Scotty I learned something new today!.Boy you really get around, I know its a lot of work getting these videos out but seeing cars like this makes it all worth it I bet.
I've never heard of the Ball Stud Hemi. That Hemi is a hell of a tight squeeze under the hood of the pre 1970 Barracuda's. There is literally not a half inch of space between the headers and the fenderwells on either side. That is one awesome machine. There's not really any muscle cars I don't like but I'm definitely a Mopar guy first. I've always really liked the look of the 67-69 Barracuda body style. A guy I worked with had a 69 Formula S with a 383 and the 727 automatic. Really sweet car
Great video! I was just there last week and saw this car there. I was there to see a couple of Chrysler concepts being swapped out. That is a rare opportunity to hear the Ball Stud Hemi come to life!
any Mopar nut know's about these. Hot Rod magazine did a write up on it in the 80s. Good article as it goes inside the engine and examines the reason's for the experiment.
4:07 mark picture, Left to Right: Tom Coddington, John Wehrly, Tom Hoover, Al Adam...Tom Coddington, John Wehrly, and Tom Hoover are currently in the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame as part of the Ramchargers, and Al Adam will be inducted this coming October at part of the famed "Motown Missile" Pro Stock Team (along with Dick Oldfield, Ted Spehar, Joe Pappas, and probably others).
I could sort of power shift at 16 , my friend wanted me to show him in his 68 Vette . His eyes 👀 went crazy when I kicked the clutch pedal while flat flooring it . Blew out left knee racing Mx at 21 , and my power shifting days were over 😔
What people don't understand about this hemi is it is a Chrysler hemi version of a Chevy Big Block with canted valves. Chrysler tried to make it to lower production cost of the hemis.
@@livewire2759 Thought I saw 2 of them. One was modified. I think it was on Uncle Tony's garage on UA-cam. And the other one was on a Jay Leno sponsored car I think.
Thank you for that slice of mopar heaven! Incredible car, actually the ultimate car for me!! Sounds great, looks great, what's not to like? One of the car "gods"! You sure get around to find these beauties, where do I chip in for gas, cause this is way too fun!! Thanks ScottieDTV!!:-)
I would have thoroughly enjoyed this video if Tom Hoover were explaining it. I've had an original B5 Blue 4 speed 69 cuda 340 with the A56 option in 1969 and now have another only B7 Blue and never get tired of seeing these cars, whether coupes or fastbacks.
Really like this video, I forgot about the Ball Stud Hemi, nice coverage of this one off car. I prefer the notch back styling, over the fastback. But I remember reading that most racers preferred the fast back, because it placed additional weight over the back tires.
But I can't see those scoops working. Couldn't see any holes to allow air in/out the engine bay. Anyway it looks cool, sounds cool, probably runs fast. What else?
I had a friend in Naples FL who started up a Balanced & Blueprinted 426 Hemi for me with only headers on it ... inside his garage .... it was really loud ... REALLY LOUD ! Makes Me want to drive fast just thinking about it. :)-
Scottie in defense of the caretaker he has over 180 cars he over sees . I think he only received this car 2 weeks before your video . He not only let you have full access to it but started it for you to
I remember reading a article back in the 80s of this engine and there was supposed to be 2 of them and the one I was reading about was owned by a guy in Colchester vt. long while ago who knows where it ended up.
ScottieDTV Well, seeing that the museum guy pronounced Dick Landy as "Landis and Herb actually drove for Sox and Martin back in the day I'm sticking with my choice. No disrespect intended towards you. Just pointing out that the museum guy may not have all his facts correct.
Baby, I Am In Hot Rod Heaven! I Enjoy Looking At Cool Hot Rod Cars And This Bright Sparkling Blue Car Was My Favorite! Dude, I Would Love To See This Beast Rip Up The Road In A Drag Race!
Loved the video, but saying a machine (referring to the 727 Automatic) couldn't be out shifted? I believe Ronnie Sox (Mr. Four Speed) would have a problem with that statement!
I tend to agree with the other statement pretty hard to beat a manual reverse valve body in a Automatc Ronnie Sox was good with a 4 speed most people are not Ronnie Sox he had a talent at shifting most could not beat the automatic if was the case ther would be more 4 speeds than automatics in racing which ther is not most are a automatic
Never heard of the Ball Stud Hemi. Thanks for this video Scottie this car is amazing. Your next mission whether you choose to accept it or not. Is to find a Mopar with a duel overhead cam 426 Hemi. Ohh and thanks now I have to go research this. Because I want to know more.
Hood scoops are non functional . Simply look at the alignment of the open hood, and view as its closed . I am a die-hard Mopar guy, but really although it is very unique and I absolutely love it, imagine changing those spark plugs. The engine is rare yes but the car is not. Let's get real here this is a test mule, and a very strange one at that. It is beautiful how it is put together and the engine is rare as a single example. This car is right where it belongs and I am so glad it is there. It was wonderful that somebody would donate it to the museum to save it getting into the hands of some Gomer.
That engine has not been restored but is modified. Wrong air cleaner. The valve covers should be black and there is a number of other stuff on it that werent there when it was originally built. Beautiful car none the less.
I came from Uncle Tony's Garage.
Cool!..Welcome!
Ok two questions
One : how was this a Sox And Martin campaigned car as ran when the Ball Stud Hemi was a development mule engine?
Two: who is Dick “ Landis “? Is he related to Dick Landy ? 🤷🏻♂️
Oh one more thing , I don’t recall any notchback Barracuda campaigned by Sox and Martin in 1969 . I thought they ran 68 Super Stock Hemi Barrracuda fastback and 69 GTX , maybe a Road Runner
Uncle Tony "can't believe shit like this actually happens:" @6:53 - ua-cam.com/video/JDBBqkzwU0I/v-deo.html
Yup
Oh my god! Thank you for this piece of history! I didn't know a thing about this engine and I do like Mopars a lot! Man, thanks!
The ball stud hemi was never raced in this car. I believe more of the history behind this car can be found in an article titled "the little cuda that could" in an older car magazine (2008-2009?). I think Tom Hoover had this car for 30 years before he sold it.
We'll never know what that engine actually sounded like since Arruzza destroyed the only one.
lol
Yes he did! What a fool!
David Warren True, a one of one engine that was totally complete from factory hacked up into this cancerous growth. :(
John Wilburn I did see an article with Aruzza and this engine years ago. What ever happened to that guy? I know he did live not far from me in Pittsboro NC. Then he like disappears.
The one gentleman said Ford Chevy Dodge you can put a Hemi in anything other words Ford and Chevy didn't make a motor as good as the Hemi
and the guy is asked by Scottie if the hood scoops are for cooling and he states yes!!! They're fake, check the underside of the hood when it's open.....no holes!!! All cuda A56, A57 or these A13's had fake scoops.
What an incredible car, thanks for the post Scotty!
My pleasure Brother....Glad you enjoyed it!
Ball Stud Hemi, i'm a Moper guy from way back but that's a new one on me! Thank's
You're welcome!
No doubt about it....glad you liked it!!
Awesome, I am a big Mopar fan for years and never heard of this thanks for the heads up!
That museum is well worth a trip to Auburn to visit, lots of interesting things to see, and a very friendly staff.
For sure...Stop by everytime I'm near....
Thank you for sharing this rare car and Hemi!!
+Tarik Hammad My pleasure.....Glad you appreciated it!!

The A279 initially used the B-block head bolt pattern, which "badly hampered" its exhaust ports,[1] forcing the use of a serpentine flow around some of the outer bolts[1] This was changed late in development,[1] but not before some tooling based on the original design had already been created.[1] This meant the head was not truly hemispherical, but had more intake port area than exhaust (3.575 sq in (23.06 cm2) versus (2.488 sq in (16.05 cm2)).[1]

Compared to the wedge, the ball-stud block had two additional clean-out holes to remove casting sand, because the large bore made coolant in the water jacket very significant,[6] and an additional oil drainback hole at either end of the block, due to demand for lubrication of the rocker arms.[1] Suggestions to increase the size of the oil pump pickup to 3⁄8 in (9.5 mm) (compared to the 426's 1⁄2 in (12.7 mm)) never passed the endurance testing stage.[6]

The intake was to be a single Carter ThermoQuad, of greater flow than any previously used, on a dual-plane intake manifold,[5] while dual four-barrels were never even considered, in the face of toughening emissions standards.[1] A split-level (vertically split, rather than horizontally divided) intake was also experimented with.[5]

Ronnie Sox was a 4 speed master!
He beat the automatics.
so did bill jenkins
727 auto trans was the first auto that could beat a manual 4 speed at that time
I thought all S&M cars were 4-speeds. this proves that wrong!
all of ronnies cars were 4 speeds other guys ran autos for sox and martin Ronnie himself told me he always ran 4 speeds
TJRatfink this car never campaigned by Sox and Martin
I agree...very nice work!
No problem....glad I could bring it to you!
I read an article about that ball stud hemi in mopar action magazine probably 10 or 11 years ago. I never thought I'd ever hear it run.
Right on....I thought it was cool to...But as one would expect....MOPAR fans still want to argue weather it even existed or not...
Used to watch. Ronnie run. I day I was looking at my old school year books a found out I went to middle school w his daughter plus years later I met his son at the strip bar. Blew my mind. They were regular people a must of been very secret ( his rides were the BOSS)! Rip
Cool!
This is the coolest car you've shot. I've read lots about the Sox and Martin cars but never heard of a ball Hemi. Now that's just COOL!!!!
Damn Scotty I learned something new today!.Boy you really get around, I know its a lot of work getting these videos out but seeing cars like this makes it all worth it I bet.

What people don't understand about this hemi is it is a Chrysler hemi version of a Chevy Big Block with canted valves. Chrysler tried to make it to lower production cost of the hemis.
They only built this one prototype, and the guy who ended up with it completely f-ed it up and raced with it.

It looks to me like it’s a formula s car I had a 67;383 formula s I’m sure I’vemseen a formula s 69 car with them scoops that are dummies
First Ball stud HEMI I ever seen! WOW. To bad EPA stepped in so Soon. Love All Factory Hot Rods.!
I hear ya....very cool!!

I met Ronny Sox long before his passing. he was a really cool guy. That car has to be a one off.
It is...thanks for checking it out!
I agree...very good looking Car....
What wheel/Tire combo is that? Brands Size specs.
All I know is in the video....sorry
I agree....this one should make every Motor head smile....
I just caught a glimpse of heaven, with an angel choir to boot!
lol...Glad you enjoyed it!!
Cool...I will post them to my blog
Wow now thats a beauty!
Why didn't they use the original automatic shifter, and what kind did Sox & Martin use?
mr. 4 speed lived behind me in NC. his father ran a gas station down the street.
greatly missed!!
Cool!
Right!!
Someone if we had the money should make a production version of the ball stud Hemi. I have seen photos and it appears one badass engine !!!!
Thanks for checking this one out here!!
very cool.remember reading about this motor.
I agree...very cool of him!
Scottie in defense of the caretaker he has over 180 cars he over sees . I think he only received this car 2 weeks before your video . He not only let you have full access to it but started it for you to
I remember reading a article back in the 80s of this engine and there was supposed to be 2 of them and the one I was reading about was owned by a guy in Colchester vt. long while ago who knows where it ended up.
Cool!
Ford in ford Chevy in a Chevy Hemi in anything!! I like that one!!!
lol...Right on!
There is so much wrong with the facts on this video, I’m making a call Monday to the museum about the real facts.
lol....We got the information from what was provided with the car....Visit the museum and read it for yourself...
@@ScottieDTV If that is really Herb McCandless I would believe his facts over the museum.
@@TheInsaneShecklador Ok...that's your choice..
ScottieDTV Well, seeing that the museum guy pronounced Dick Landy as "Landis and Herb actually drove for Sox and Martin back in the day I'm sticking with my choice. No disrespect intended towards you. Just pointing out that the museum guy may not have all his facts correct.
One bad fish🐟 I won't mind having this on the mantle above the fireplace👏🏽👏🏽
Cool car for sure Brother!!
lol...cool...glad you liked it!
Baby, I Am In Hot Rod Heaven! I Enjoy Looking At Cool Hot Rod Cars And This Bright Sparkling Blue Car Was My Favorite! Dude, I Would Love To See This Beast Rip Up The Road In A Drag Race!
lol..That would be cool...Thanks for checking it out!!
WHAT A GREAT DONAtion ! AFTER WATCHING UNCLE TONY, I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY IT WAS DONATED
Cool!
Loved the video, but saying a machine (referring to the 727 Automatic) couldn't be out shifted? I believe Ronnie Sox (Mr. Four Speed) would have a problem with that statement!
I tend to agree with the other statement pretty hard to beat a manual reverse valve body in a Automatc Ronnie Sox was good with a 4 speed most people are not Ronnie Sox he had a talent at shifting most could not beat the automatic if was the case ther would be more 4 speeds than automatics in racing which ther is not most are a automatic
That is so sick! Is it still 426ci? Wonder it there's blueprints for that engine somewhere would love to put on in a Duster :-)
Nice video and a thumbs up for you.
Thank you!!
@@ScottieDTV You are welcome also.
Beautiful vehicle,I owned a 67 notch back Formula S but it only had a 273.
Right on!!
Never heard of the Ball Stud Hemi. Thanks for this video Scottie this car is amazing.
Your next mission whether you choose to accept it or not. Is to find a Mopar with a duel overhead cam 426 Hemi.
Ohh and thanks now I have to go research this. Because I want to know more.
look up a-925 for that motor
That's a nice cuda Scottie! I wish mine looks like that....
Beautiful car!
Hood scoops are non functional . Simply look at the alignment of the open hood, and view as its closed . I am a die-hard Mopar guy, but really although it is very unique and I absolutely love it, imagine changing those spark plugs. The engine is rare yes but the car is not. Let's get real here this is a test mule, and a very strange one at that. It is beautiful how it is put together and the engine is rare as a single example. This car is right where it belongs and I am so glad it is there. It was wonderful that somebody would donate it to the museum to save it getting into the hands of some Gomer.
Right on Brother...Why can't more people just enjoy what is here and getting to see it without leaving their easy chair...
Yes it is!
I hear ya....it's the challenge of getting it right....I like to nail it and go...
Cool...I thought you might like this!!
lol...if it is out there....I will find it Brother...it's what I do!!...glad I could bring you something new!
That engine has not been restored but is modified. Wrong air cleaner. The valve covers should be black and there is a number of other stuff on it that werent there when it was originally built. Beautiful car none the less.
yes, it's actually stroked, has 427 ford pistons, and aftermarket carb
lol...Thanks for checking it out!!!
Thank you for sharing.
+Duey Jones My pleasure...
Ronnie Sox was a machine, he didn't miss a shit either!!! Do your homework, thats why they called him Mr 4speed!!!!!
Right on...
And he respected everybody
