Hot Rod Lincoln '67 Coupe by Buddy67Lincoln

Here is the mock up of my tripower on my parts car. It happened to have the intake off along with most of the hardware but its all in the trunk. Anyways just to answer anyone who ever wondered if the intake and carbs fit under the hood with air cleaners....they do! Thats good for me so I do not have to fabricate a custom hood (i would never use a hood scoop). I think its going to look pretty sweet. I want individual air cleaners so I found 2 smaller ones at a swap meet 2 or 3 weeks ago and picked them up for $8 so it helped me get a visual. I need a middle one and hope to find finned lids and from there I need to do some cutting to the center cleaner and it should look nice. Let me know what you think. Hope I can get this tri power to work well. Still looking for a set of 58-59 cylinder heads since they are the ones to use for this intake. Thanks for looking.

Thanks a lot Brian! Well luckily it clears the hood so I do not have to worry about chopping up my hood just yet if I do decide to go with a custom hood. I had planned on these carbs since they came with the set up and are rebuilt but I should go with the D shapped carbs like on mopars. Haven't decided yet but I have a long way to go so these might have to work for now. I should be getting a hold of you once the motor comes out and I hope thats sometime this winter. Also, I have seen the cobra scoop on a slab side LIncoln and I think it was a 64 and that owner put the tri power on his 430 so he needed to cut a hold in the hood. It actually did not look to bad. I talked to the guy about 6 months ago but the car has since been sold, it now black with wire rims. I think it looked good stock with the trips on it!
