What was available for the old MEL 368/383/462 Linclon engines?
I only know of Tri-Power on the Marauder 400 in 59? I know there was some NASCAR FoMoCo stuff too, but not sure what.
Also, I know that California aftermarket had 6 and 8 duece set ups. Saw that stuff in old magazines.

The 1958 MERCURY SUPER MARAUDER 430 Engine (LINCOLN had the same option but I haven't come across any tech info on it yet) had an aluminum 3X2 intake with three 2300 HOLLEY'S mounted. This was when only small base carbs were used on multi-carb aftermarkets (Stromberg-Rochester-HOLLEY 56). Interestingly, the end carbs were actuated by vacuum motors like the VETTE 427/435 and MOPAR offerings. Bill Stroppe was definitely ahead of his time.EDELBROCK had two 3x2 intakes, both small mounting pad in either three or four mounting holes. I have asked and searched for an aluminum 4V intake as HOLMAN-MOODY modified them (59 TBIRD 430) for NASCAR but have received no information. Everything else factory was cast iron. I believe the main reason being FORD getting out of the racing business in 57/58. When they came back in in 1960 it was with the 352/360hp FE and the STARLINER. There just was no further factory performance research done as MERCURY was returned to the FORD Division in 1960 after the failure of the EDSEL and they were then powered by FE's. I have also come across no reference to a dual 4V, factory or otherwise. This 430 3x2 is in a 1958 LINCOLN PREMIER;   Factory 3x2 Intake;  EDELBROCK;   Additionally, if you go to -The MEL Engine Forum- and scribe halfway down, there are some MIDWEST SPEED CATALOG pages shown with speed equipment for the MEL.

I also learn something everyday (hopefully-sometimes it zooms by me) and I enjoy sharing what I have found. The trouble is, I was fairly aware when these things were new (10 yrs.old) and a few years after the fact and wish I had gathered experience and knowledge with them rather than those darn 'ol 312's and 352/390's...  Enjoy yourself at Orlando!

Missed this one... The 368 was in the LINCOLN Y-BLOCK Family. It's last year of production was 1957. The Mercury Turnpike Cruiser had the 368 with a two-four barrel option rated at 335HP. I have read of a 3x2 option but have not verified it. -Brief History Of The LINCOLN Y-Block Engine Family- The MEL (Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln) Engine Family was introduced in 1958 with the 383ci and later (in production year) 430ci available in the MERCURY, the 410ci available in the EDSEL (1958 only year available) and the 430 available in the LINCOLN. The 462ci became available in the LINCOLN in 1966 and was replaced on a running basis in 1968 with the 460 CONTINENTAL engine. I have to learn to read a little closer... -Brief History Of The MEL Engine Family- (Contains Some Inaccurate Entries-Engine Specs)

Thanks for catching that Gary.
I actually knew about the 368 being of the 317 Y block Lincoln family but my tired fingers and brain typed 368 instead of 430. 
I was indeed asking about the MEL 383, 410, 430, 462 engines.
See you all on Monday. ------------------

Small blocks were backwards also.  Only the "never seen the light of day" 351C, 385, and Boss 429 series XE tri-powers faced forwards. They had the later style cathedral bowl Holleys. ------------------

Ninety Degree Factory TRI-POWER;  385 Series (Non-BOSS) TRI-POWER (shown with MOPAR carbs)  There were cast factory (Buddy Bar?) tri-power intakes for the BOSS 302-351C-429-BOSS 429. I don't know if factory carburetion was released as most examples I have come across have the CHEV 427/435/MOPAR style carbs (vacuum actuated secondaries) Interestingly, the MEL 430 used the vacuum actuated secondary carbs, but only short bowl as the cathedral bowls had not been released back then. ------------------

Always a new drool factor;DEMON 2V Setup;  This installation is shown on SBC intake. This PONY CARBS setup is using AUTOLITE 2100's. Shown on SBF intake;   If you have only the MEL EDELBROCK 3x2 intake with the four bolt mounting flange, you can also upgrade it to accept HOLLEY 2300 or AUTOLITE 2100 Series carbs for a budget setup; HOLLEY PN 17-43

 UNBELIEVABLE! Can you imagine popping the hood on a '57 FORD and those throttle bodies were staring at you? Was the actual STROMBERG carb the preferred choice for a log manifold then? I am now wondering if EDELBROCK made aluminum rocker covers and a valley pan for a 430. Wonder if the Y-BLOCK guys know this yet or not?

Stromberg 97's, Ford 94's,ChandlerGrove's were all used I believe 97's were prefered ones,though as I remember there a touch smaller than 94's,all were prone to leak all over the place,caused the loss of many a HOTROD,6 leaky 97's and that *#*^#clear/pink plastic fuel line and a back fire roasted Hotrod,
If we both git up to Carlile we gotta say HI I'm hoppin to trust my 56 enough to take the 2 hr ride down the pike fron Jersey!!

Just reading the Hot Rod magazine '59 TBird 430 article now. Triple carburetion was available for that car too?
Here's what it says:
"For prospective Bird owners who might buy the 430 engine option and desire a bit more for competition, a triple carburetion setup is also available. This is being made by Bill Stroppe and is a modification of the Marauder manifold offered as an option last year by Mercury. This aluminum triple intake manifold uses three Ford two-barrel carburetors with vacuum controlled preogressive linkage on the two outside carburetors. Normal operation is with the center carburetor only. Also included in the kit offerred by Stroppe is a cast aluminum air cleaner housing fitted with a paper filtering element. With the triple carburetion, last year's Marauder engine was rated at 400 horsepower, the only other difference being 10.5:1 compression for the Marauder."

Most of the Mustang houses sell reproduction 3x2 intakes as does Pony Carb.
They are pretty much duplicates of the Cobra set ups from the 60's. ------------------

Sorry I misunderstood. Of course the manufacturer will be FOMOCO.They were released as COBRA KITS in the early and mid-sixties (no factory installation). You would have to find an old setup or BLUE THUNDER is making replicas (intake only). As for carburetion, either the origional HOLLEYS (I understand HOLLEY is coming out with repros) or AUTOLITE 2100's as shown on the PONY CARBS installation. Even if you cannot find a complete origional kit, you can still buy the components repro to assemble your own. -FORD TRI-POWER Info And Tech-  Thanx Alex for helping him out...

That Weiand blower intake must be exceedingly rare. The late Travis Perrenot and his brother ran a 430 in a gas dragster back when those engines were current, 59- early 60's, he said they had to make their own blower intake. Very few speed parts existed for those engines even back in their heyday. They got over 500 cubes just with an overbore and a welded and offset ground 430 crank.
