eBay finds

Here is another set of new Holman Moody gauges.Last set went for crazy money

Mike, check your link. It just opens this thread in a new window.

Never thought I could come across with one of these in the USA..never seen one in my country...didn´t know they ever fabricated them...Hispano was a car manufacturer in the late 50 early 60 but then closed...

marine engine

edit: they are in argentina and ship worldwide...

collectors item!! lol..

I've read that the bolt holes for GT-40Ps have to be drilled for a 351. So, you'd have to add that to your overall cost.

they need to be drilled for 1/2" head bolts.

probably regular gt40 3 bars.
P are little better.

anyway the drilling and brass plugs shouldn´t add that much imo.

As far as the ones jodi was selling, I contacted him and said I was interested and he responded initially but then when I emailed him back to say I wanted them, he never responded. That was over a week ago, maybe he just got busy or maybe he sold them to someone else. I would rather buy from him as I know his reputation and what I would be getting, but I was curious on those ebay jobs. I doubt they have new valves or springs they are probably just cleaning up the old ones and putting new seals in.

Then I was thinking that for the price difference I could probably afford new springs etc. By the time I ship from florida to ohio i will have 500 in them while those ebay ones would be a little under 400 so that would give me 120 or so to work with. Maybe I am taking a risk or doing more work than I need. I am assuming jodi has put new valve springs in his.

Got mine here they turned out to be new castings.Very happy with them.

Jodi got back with me. He was out of the country, so no one panic or send out a search party.

There is a 390 ford h&moody on ebay for what looks like a good price if anyone is in the market check it out.

I'm in Shock and just called 911! He states it's all original!    He's a frustrated wood worker to do the deck like that! Plus, his use of a clear coat will come back to bite him or the unsuspecting buyer. It's sad he put the effort into this boat and did NOT do his research.

Pete,
I knew you would be all over that one!!! Keep us updated on it. Looks like he would probably part with it pretty cheaply. Cant imagine there are alot of people on ebay wanting a project like that. The ones that know, like you, know they are most likely getting someone elses problems.

WOW, tons of time spent making the deck look nice and the bottom and topsides are full of gaps and 5200. It's a soaker for sure.

But did you count the number of spark plugs,.....all in a line. That's cool, and I can't even imagine what it sounds like. I bet it'd look good with white painted sides, albeit not original of course.
