The FE Ford tri power was introduced in April, 1961, intended for the High Performance 390 which was rated at 375 horses. The tri power bumped that rating to 401. The same triple Holley, mechanical linkage system, continued to see use, factory installed, on the 406 for '62 and early to mid '63. The intake manifold carb bases are "stacked", lowest on first base, going up a little to the back, 3rd carb base.
There was a '62 or '63 T-bird 390 tri power option that I don't know a lot about except to be able to identify the intake where all the carburetor bases are level.
The tri power "system" continued to be offered over-the-counter, advertised in Ford High Performance parts manuals, through 1967. The intake should only be used with C8OE-N(Cobra Jet), C6AE-R and older heads. There's a poor match up with the C7AE, C8AE, D2T short intake port heads.
That's about all I can think of right now. I've used the tri power system and will continue to use it. |
