All you true blue Ford guys, especially you old guys, need to check out the Holman Moody home page and get a blast from the past.
History is a very cool subject.

Not bad prices either. They have nice rides too....................

Holman Moody is still going strong. They have a lot of GT40 parts laying all over their shop. They will build you a motor that will run like a raped ape. They are not gone or forgotten just doing what they do in a quieter way.

The Auto Sales page is pretty interesting.

I am liking the 289-302 Tri Power intake,
The oval air cleaner and a pair of the H/M finned valve covers with that would look great on the 5.0 in the 64!

Here is a picture of a tri-power on a 289 in a '64 (Falcon, that is) I built many years ago. It has the oval air cleaned and finned valve covers, Cobra, not H/M. This was all original Ford parts, nothing re-pop.

The tri-power worked well, and was reasonably economical. Hot Rod Magazine did a comparison of different Cobra intakes and carbs, in '65-'66 as I remember. The tri-power was down about 10 horsepower over a single 600 cfm 4 barrel. They do look better though, IMO.

I dropped them an email - Tri Power intake for 289/302 - $532.40.

I was surprised they answered me on a Sunday though.
The HM 3x2, with their air cleaner & finned valve covers would look cool as hell under the hood of my 64 though!
