Camshaft Thrust Plate

I broke the thrust plate on my 351M. The one I got from the local parts house will not fit. (Melling MF125).

Neighborhood Ford Guru says he has a used one, but he is hard to get up with.

Any of you folks know a good source on the net for such a thing?

Headbolts.com has one listed. Thinking about ordering it.

A new camshaft thrust plate is as close as your local Ford Dealer. It's still available. List price is $10.78.

C8SZ6269A .. Thrust Plate

>> FITS: 1970/82 351C/351M/400 & 1968 and later 429/460's. Yes, it's the same one for all these engines.

Part number source: 1965/72, 1973/79; 1980/89 Ford Car & Truck Parts Catalogs.

FTE Home Page = DIRECTFORDPARTS / Type in the part number in their online parts locater and price list. The list and net price will come up.

DirectFordParts gives discounts to FTE members. They are a Ford dealer (Gaudin Ford) located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

THANKS Fellas!

Picked up one at the local Ford Dealer. If it's wet tomorrow, I'll start puttin' her back together.

This is a F-250 4x4 that I bought cheap cause the oil pump locked up on it. I'm gonna nickle and dime it til I see that it'll move under it's own power. Will use it around the place and maybe really fix it up.

I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again!
Mitch
