390 FE Intakes??

A 67 Mercury 390 would most likely have come a 4bbl correct? im pretty sure ive seen them but just to check tri-power manifolds available and where

 

Try here,these look pretty cool Ford FE tripower

 

Sure looks cool, but I'm scared to ask the real question...




how much???????????

 

Here's mine, cost me $100. and a box of 4 carbs for it, all needing a rebuild cost me $50. i consider it a good deal

 

hmmmmm 4 bolt bases... whered you go and get urself that one^^^^^^^^????

 

Thats quite a Bargain, looks to be a 61-62 T-Bird manifold!!............OLDBEET

 

nice score, 61 t bird aye, how bout giving it to me j/k, i just covered up my ugly manifold with a caddy oil bath aircleaner

 

factory '63 Bird manifold

 

anyone ever seen one with 3 bolt bases or are the only ones made repos of the stick 4-bolt bases

 

I've never seen an FE tripower with 3 bolt bases. Expect to pay as high as $1500 or more for a nice restored set up with all the right stuff.

Don't know if you mean stock or aftermarket, but I have an FE edelbrock manifold with 3-bolt bases. Some carbs I had off a Y-block fit on there. I can get pics if you want 'em.

 

im lookin for aftermarket i guess it looks as if stock manifolds were 4-bolt sure post seom pics of the 3-bolt base manifold

 

My aftermarket Edelbrock 6x2 FE intake is a 3 bolt base for strombergs and Holley 94's.

 

I got mine from a friend for $200 with carbs and linkage. I spent $100 having a hairline crack welded, from the heat riser, which I also had welded up, (highly recommended) and another $420 getting the carbs rebuilt and reanodized.

In restored condition they are supposed to be worth $1500 to $3000 complete. They work great and give excellent performance and fuel milage. KK

 

Sorry, I forgot I've never seen a factory Tri-power with 3 bolt base. In fact I've never seen even aftermarket one with 3 bolt, that wasn't for a Y-Block. KK

 

hmmmmmmm well keep me updated if anyone heard of or sees an FE tri power setup w/ 3 bolt bases let me kno it would be for a shoebox so i would like to keep it as much period as i can w/ 390 so strombergs or holleys or even rochesters would be my optimum choice however i could always go with a 4 bolt base and use adapters to make it 3 bolt but then i run into the problem of the afro engingeering

 

Slow... NO FE manifolds came from the factory with 3 bolt bases.....so if ya wanna be "period correct" that would be 4 bolt bases ....I also have NEVER seen a 3 bolt FE base ......(aftermarket could have made ANYTHING tho' .....)

Most all the aftermarket manifolds were 3 bolt for strombergs. Usually $200 or under, on E-Pay often......OLDBEET

 

Stock but polished

 

Edelbrock made the F380. A 3x2 that used Stromberg/Holley carbs ... 3-bolt base. Show up on Ebay pretty often and go cheap. Here's one on there now:
