The Ford Barn

Ford and Holley had relations in supply chain clear back to the beginning. They were one of the 4 original suppliers to Ford Motors. They worked together on a lot of stuff over the years but Ford generally made a lot of the units in house with Holley helping to produce overage production. Holley would also help with replacement parts. The Holley brothers never gouged Henry so they got along well with the company for over a 100 years.

The 4100 series were less expensive to produce than the Holley mainstay 4V carbs or the era but FoMoCo occasionally used Holleys for certain applications like performance and heavy duty governed applications.

The big air filter housings were designed to cut down on the sound levels. Most manufacturers employed large housings for this reason.
