COMET CENTRAL

Well I’m not sure what you mean by esoteric? They may be rare or specialized, but Clearly the 1964 Hipo comets were produced and sold as special order through the DSO,
The example I have in possession is proof of that, and hopefully will find a new owner next month

I don’t know, I’ll measure it when I list it on eBay next month, as I live out of state from where the car is stored

Well I’m any case Mercury seemed to give the comet 289 more attention then the ford side. The HIPo got transistorized ignition, a comet only distributor, and an alternator. However they totally ignored doing anything to the exhaust manifolds....

Weren’t those carbs very similar to a big block carb? I can’t remember and all my books are
Packed away, but I think they were pretty close

I’m going to be listing these comets for sale in February on eBay
If anyone is interested they can PM me. I moved out of state and the cars are still in storage I’m california so I can’t post anymore pics until then
Thanks
Mike

.tom cruz at delta bay mustang in brentwood california has a lot of that stuff, and i think he had a 64 falcn wagon with a bench seat at one time out there for referrnce. In any case he has a lot of falcon performance parts that no one else makes.

So I'm thinking about putting my sohc motor up for sale but I'm not sure what they're going for now. It's a Holman moody crate motor, missing the carb and alternator, all original, only test fired, but no run time. If anybody has an opinion on its value id like to hear them
Thanks

Amazing workmanship! Do you know what engine your going to run yet??

You cab use the same port as thesending unit, and i have a pair of heads that someone put in the head also

I wonder what kind of suspension hes useing, 2000 miles is a lot if its 1/4 mile bursts only, but not much if its street driven

I think that tom at delta bay mustangs m brentwood california has all that stuff in stock,

Well for sure id go with what they reccomend, just out of curiosity, whar kinda power are you going to be makeing

Yeah pop, the scarcity of the 221 is really why id like one. I need another engine on a stand like i need a hole in the head! But im a huge 289 fan and collect parts for them, and have a 260 and thiught it would be neat to hve a 221 complete just to have to line of engines through 289.

What do you plan on doing with the car?? The original suspensions were pretty good, so just rebuilding with a nee steering box, and high end shocks and stabilizer bars will be a great driving and hndeling car. I used to open track alot and youd be suprised what some of the stock suspensions can do i...

What kinda rpm are you planning on turning?? The ductile is going to be better, but i assume its the cost holding you back?
