I recently bought a Holman Moody Marine FE intake with Tecalemit-Jackson injection installed. There is no HM part number on the intake, just the hmm logo. I'm curious about the marine intake with with that injection, everything I've read says they used it on the GT40s.
Well a year has about passed since obtaining my car, I was wrapping up some other stuff so she was on the back burner. I decided last week to start the tear down got all of the trim off the car, front bumper, grille valence light buckets, all glass and regulators removed, I will not run door or rear windows like the original Fireball car. Ordered new window rubber, scored a nice used set of driving condition chrome bumpers, got some good info from a friend doing a Marauder Stock car build very period correct one, on how to build out my floor pans and exhaust cutouts thru the frame and qtr panel. I have collected some nice parts for the build and some yet to be acquired or created. Lots of work still left to do full dash removal and rear bumper and hopefully get thr front clip off to remove the body off the frame ..The roll bar install will be fun.
Heres my H-M 427 medium riser out of a 1965 record setting race boat. Complete with hollow shell lifters , H-M camshaft, ditched the clam shell air cleaner, kept the vintage pent roof valve covers with vintage stickers.

Old Thread, I was born in 1957 and my Father raced on long Island at Mitchel Field in a Corvette in Gym- Kona's. I am interested in Holman and Moody and your thread. One question, who is your Pop, full name, so I can look up his Biography.
Late in the new series 1966 TA season Ford needed a win to clench the title (Dodge Dart was leading). They called Shelby and told him to get a car and prep it for the final race. A 4 hour at Riverside. They grabbed a Coupe from a dealer and gave it their R Model GT350 treatment. Titus took practice 2 laps in the car and pronounced it good to go. He qualified on the pole but flooded it on the LeMans start. He left last and drove through the field to be leading when one of the half buried tires in the esses came loose and knocked the oil filter off. He completed the rest of the lap with zero oil pressure and came in the pits. He was sitting on the wall chatting with Shelby when the crew said hop in it's fixed. He drove through the field again and won - that earned him the title of Mr. Transam. Mid way through 1967 Ford took over all the assets of Shelby American (cars/trademarks/etc) over an unpaid 1962 startup loan. Shelby was kept on as a contractor to run the TransAm (As Shelby Racing Co) series through the 1970 season. When his contract was over the cars went back to Bud Moore who originally built them for Ford.
