Reply to "Holman Moody Cleveland"

My car was sold to me with the story that it was a Holman Moody engine conversion! The original owner when he bought the car new wasn’t impressed with the lowered performance of the 73 Pantera and had Holman Moody install one of their upgraded engines. One of the most noticeable outside changes was that there was a H/M remote dual oil filter on the firewall and a clockable H/M adapter on the engine block plus a heavy duty oil cooler in front of the rad. After a few months of ownership I noticed that one of the lifters was needing constant adjusting and figured that the cam was wearing, we pulled the engine out and went through the entire block checking bearings cylinder wear etc. What we did notice that the pistons were the Ford stamped racing type and the engine block was  unstamped , we changed the cam but didn’t check for any stamping on the end, sorry I didn’t know ! I still might have the cam somewhere, I will check! The cam was a solid lifter cam and I changed to a hydraulic! Sad news that Holman tossed out their records on their conversations, I was always thinking on day I would trace my cars history back to when new when this was done!
