Clifford Parts

Everyone knows that Clifford Performance parts are very expensive bought new.

Some of his products are simply repackaged. The over-size valves he sells at a premium are sbc valves, and actually cheaper than Ford valves. Also, the valve cover gasket he sells for his cast aluminum v.c. is actually from a late model EFI valve cover.

I thought I'd pass that along and save someone a few bucks.

I would liked to have had an option for the headers on my early Bronco, but unfortunatly he seems to be the only vendor who makes them.

Sorry there wasn't another manufacturer, or a few, to keep the price down. I'll bet you paid dearly for the Clifford headers. But at least you could find some! Are you going to go with the Stage 8 locking bolt system?

That's why you still need to trim and fit a Clifford valve cover gasket to a Clifford valve cover!!

Yea, I found a set from one of my Bronco vendors for $39 for 6cyl. w/headers. Can't argue with that price.

Yeah, Good, that's what I paid too, but then Cal. sales tax bumped it up to $49. I still thought that was a good price, because Summit lists them for, I believe, $49 plus tas, plus shipping.

I know the bottom bolt on the front runner is going to give me a run for my money.... I figure I may have to cut up and reweld a wrench into another angle/shape to tighten/torque that bolt, but that is just part of the fun.
