tri power for 289 question

hey cats or kittens:

i have a question.I have a 28 tudor sedan im going to build and i want to keep it all ford(no small block chevy).I want to run a 289 with a tripower.
Is there a manifold that has three two barrel carbs for the 289 or one with six carbs.if so what makes and so on

 

Edelbrock makes one under the part number F289. I have used one in the past and it worked well. PAW used to sell em.

 

i dont know about 6 aces, but i know a couple of companys made 3 duece intakes. 289 in a model a, cool. i am gonna run one in my pickemup.

 

what are the companies,sweet 64 falcon i had one just got rid of it

 

Factory ford(hard to find), edelbrock still makes one i think. Blue thunder makes a repro of the original, you can get one through www.cobranda.com (not cheap). Hope this helps.

 

bttt

 

The only currently produced 3x2 is the Blue Thunder piece; they also make a slightly different version labeled Holman-Moody, but it's the same, functionally, as the regular 3x2.

Edelbrock no longer makes the 3x2 SBF intake, but there's always the swaps & eBay.

 

I just looked into this to put a tri power on my 302. That blue thunder intake is expensive. You can get it from moon for $435.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

This intake is for 4 bolt carburetors though and depending on if you are going to use 94s or 97s then you will need to also get adapters. I was using 94s on mine and decided to get the vintage speed 4 barrel to tri power adapter. This adapter is $160 and can be drilled for 3 or 4 bolt carburetors when ordered. I then painted the adapter plate and my intake gloss black to make it look like one piece. I'm happy with the look and it was cheaper than the blue thunder intake. I attached some pictures. <o></o>

 

I run a f100 injection manifold lower half with a 3x2 plenumn on top and run 3x 94's. Its like a hi rise tri power manifold, send a pm to X38 as his mate in Oz was making them. Photobucket wont let me in pm if ya want some pics and I'll email em.

 

thanks guys

 

Try www.holmanmoody.com as well. They sell a 3 X 2V and a 4 X 2V manifold for the 289/302

 

good call, how do you not think holman moody? Man i'm a dummy. They got some cool stuff on that website.

 

hmmm....

 

guys, i have a ford tri power intake listed in the classifieds. its the blue thunder repro that includes the adapters to use strombergs. do a search parts for sale

 

man these things are alot of cash

 

Barry Grant makes a complete manifold/carb combo that pulls numbers on the dyno that nearly match any induction system.Summit has this set-up,but it is expensive.

Eric, where did you get your vintage speed tri-power adapter from? Thanks Bruce

 

I've got the blue thunder intake, and using three Autolite 2100' . The Autolite airhorns have to be machined to fit the intake/ Factory air cleaner as their base fit a standard 4 barrell carb air cleaner and is two wide.

 

As mentioned we do offer a complete tri-power set up for the 289. We are also dyno testing our new AeroRam intake for the SBF as we speak and hopefully mid year will be releasing it and it will be avaialble with our Demon 98's in configurations of 3 , 4 or 6 .
