The old ford is a 64 Mercury Comet that was equipped with a 289 hp with 4 x 2bbl induction from the factory according to the ROT sheet. This was an unusual engine and that is why I came to this forum. I have been emailing Lee Holman regarding this engine, which may have come from his shop for this car.

I am looking to find what I can that is period correct for this restoration. If I can find NOS that is good but realizing that not as many 5 bolt hipos were built as 6 bolt hipos I am grateful to find what I can. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
