HOLMAN/MOODY I-6 intake

I am running a Holman/Moody intake on a DESTROKED Ford 300 (272ci) DRAG RACING engine... I was wondering if anyone had some info on this intake??? I had heard it was use in boat racing and some circle track cars, and has anyone else used one before??

 

Just get ahold of them off their website. Great guys. I have some HM parts and they have always been more than happy to answer questions.

 

11.14@118MPH IN THE 1/4

 

I tryed to talk to them, but they didn't remember alot about it...

 

What a good looking intake. It looks like it would be better than more modern designs.

If i had to guess i'd say maybe mid 60's vintage for a 240 six maybe in hydroplane racing.

 

I assume you contacted the Ford Rep from the Inliners ?

 

www.stoveboltengineco.com even tho he is a chevy/GM 6 guy he knows alot about ford inlines and parts too. call him, he answers the phone and will talk you to death...very nice man.

 

Had a friend who had one ... on his dirt track car. A 300 Ford. Used 240 rods ( longer than the stock 300 rods ) and 302 Chevrolet V8 pistons. Had trouble with the flywheel ... but he won a LOT of races with it ... even beating a lot of V8's ( 310 cubic inch displacement limit in his class ).

It worked great past 3,000/3,500 RPMs ...

 

yeah, had my hands on one awhile back super bitchin' looking, but GAWD A'MIGHTY! look at them ports huge plenum as well. but it's a Holman/Moody for a 6. gotta be a rare bird. one went recently on that site for 200.00 i still woulda run my weber set-up, but it would have been a great piece to have on a closed hood car.

 

Better Pic 650- DP How COOL is that!!!!

 

THAT is GREAT!

 

I used to work with a really awesome guy at Fatmans Named Monte and his dad worked for Holman/Moody back in the 60's and 70's. He would tell me stories about his pops running worked 300's in 64/65 falcons doing road course racing in europe. the best part was their tow rig was a early 60's falcon van with a worked 390 in it

 

This intake was made for very HIGH RPM more then I turn mine (7300 threw the lights)... So I did some mod's to it to get it to work for me... First I turned the carb sideways, raised the floor up, put a divider in between 3 & 4 runner (to make them longer),and made a cone /\ shaped part to put inside it , that seemed to help the most...

 

No I didn't .. Who is it ??

 

Here are some new ones (click the pic) with the HOLMAN/MOODY..
