Sadly, even most of the Ford parts I've gotten lately were made in China.

Interested to see if any of the parts you buy for this conversion have China labels.

Because since 2000 Ford has pushed its vendors to make things in China to reduce the cost.

The box it came in this time was still sealed and in good condition, unlike the first one. This one remanufactured in Mexico. I can't remember about the first one. This one seemed a lot nicer right out of the box than the first one, it definitely turns easier. I'm happy with it (if it stays like it is).
