the havi buy list

havi · #1 (**permalink**) 03-20-2011, 01:57 PM

There are several projects in my yard, and I have a lot of parts in general, though nothing newer than 1989. I've decided to start a list of some of the things I'm looking for so that I can move forward on my projects. Money is still tight (thank you recession), but figured I'd see what happens. I'll update this thread as time goes on.

Looking for a pair of 351C 2v Mustang manifolds.

Looking for a ZF 5sp. with big block bell pattern 4x4 version.

1967-72 DRW truck, there's a wrecker up the road from me, but if I can't get that one, I'll be searching.

1962 or so FE valve covers with either the F O R D block letters, or Mercury version.

I'll add a true 4sp top loader to the mix as well.

Here's a couple of examples and i'm in Northeastern MN: ( I think the Mercury ones are off of a Y-block, but I'm looking for the FE version with the bolt pattern like the second pic.)

yup Fe series the top is a Y block you can tell by the air gap under the intake manifold...I will take a look tomorrow I am pretty sure I have a pair..but they arn't gonna look as good as the picture..

I'm not looking for perfect, just something that can be blasted and repainted.

There's a pair (both driver side) of Merc FE covers on ebay currently:

Thanks for the link! That's what I'm looking for. Question below the pics say they're both driver sides.

still digging ..have you had any luck finding the covers you wanted,,sorry I havn't gotten back sooner my wife's gmc truck caught fire last week an burned to the ground..kinda slowed things down.

havi · #12 (**permalink**) 06-13-2011, 05:52 PM

Not yet, but I'm in no hurry. The ZF 5 sp. for my Orange truck is the most priority.

kenjh · #13 (**permalink**) 06-13-2011, 08:33 PM

I had to buy a whole truck to get my 5 speed..

kenjh · #14 (**permalink**) 06-25-2011, 08:37 AM

Lol, I get random folks calling or stopping by looking for parts now and then. "What, do I look like a junkyard? Don't answer that."
