There sure is a lot of eye candy on them shelves!

A few weeks ago on Speed channel there was a biography of Robert Yates. He worked at Holman & Moody and was there during the hey day of Fords Total Performance campaign during the early to mid sixties. During some of the archieve film footage taken in the Holman & Moody shop the rack of completed engines was in the background as the camera focused on Robert and others that were assembling a 427. During the current interview it was stated that they built and completed 4 engines daily. They were sold or leased to competing teams that did not have thier own engine program.
Keep an eye out for it, I'm sure it will be replayed.
