Is there a market for stock induction?

ChunkFunky · 04-22-2003, 10:18 AM

I just converted to TFS head, intake and cam and new rockers... is there any market for stock stuff like that.. I see some stuff on ebay but they dont sell for much, Id hate to throw it all out... but I wouldnt mind getting some money for it either.. I'm moving to california this summer so I'm not going to be moving these parts... if anyone here wants any of it:

STOCK:
Intake w/ TB and EGR
Heads w/rockers and rods
Cam

Shipping in stuff like this allmost makes it not worth buying... but if anyone wants in on this stuff lemme know

I just bought an ebay stock tb and parted it out for the butterfly shaft and throttle position switch. I've seen an ebay demand for them up to $30.00

The EGR spacer can be bored (I think) and I've seen them go for $15-20.

The shipping on the TB/EGR is about $8.00 ups (for the combo)

I don't see much demand for the cam or intakes, but who knows...

Shipping on the heads is about $50.00 each.

I buy them locally for $10-15 depending on condition - badly stipped holes especially in more than one hole makes em pretty useless. I'll take em but won't pay anything for em. I've had a couple of guys send them to me for the cost of postage. One from SF and one from Indy.

how much are you asking for the heads?......

how many miles are on them and what condition.....

i might be interested in porting them out. they have to be a big improvement over my stock 85's

ChunkFunky · 04-23-2003, 05:56 AM

I never really thought about it... what's a fair price.... they have just about exactly 100K on them... they seem ok... they worked when I pulled them. I cant tell for sure but I think it might have had the stock head gaskets both of witch were in great shape when I pulled them...

The shipping is the ***** though... so I dunno how you'd wanna handle that

is there any way you could post pics?

if i did buy i would be cautious about the mleage, prolly would get them checked then ported then have a valve job n such....

let me know how much seems fair to you

Chunky Funky,

IF you ever run your car at the track or get it dynoed, please email me at jsasaridis@austin.rr.com.

I had the exact, and i mean EXACT combo as you and I ran 14.5 @99, and was VERY dissapointed. I had an AOD vert as well, with 3.73's. Anyway, let me know how you do, i'd like to know if there was something wrong with my engine or if it was juts the AOD/vert holding me back.

MM&FF shows this combo you and I have as making about 370 at the flywheel, so if you ever get your car dynoed let me know. The reason being I juts sold the convertible in favor of a cobra. THe difference is immeasurable. I sold my vert for 10,300 and bought this cobra for 11k, couldnt be happier. Anyway, let me know how it goes w/ your combo.

Chunky man,

I am also in the Boston Area, drop me a email at folingo@hotmail.com. A spare set of stock heads may be interesting !! At least no shipping

ChunkFunky · 04-23-2003, 06:34 PM

I shoudl be getting this thing to the track in a couple of weeks... I just fired it up today for the first time.. .it ran like total crap, it wouldnt start unless I had the TB open all teh way.. and it ran like crap, though I just couldnt wait to get it going so I had vacuum lines off and the headers holding on with ONE bolt.. hehe.. sounded cool... I'll let you guys know what happens
as for the heads in acton, if you want them.. lemme know... I'll email ya

If you could move that stuff to Australia there is a definate market. Simply cus Ford Australia charge a shitload for 5.0L parts so all the wrecker charge half-a-shitload which is still alot.

example:
OEM Air flow sensor $1300 AUS
OEM Injectors (grey) $250 AUS each

sorry about this winge, it just shits me. :>

You sold a 93 vert. for $10,300?

You rock! You robbed somebody.

Tony Frank · 04-23-2003, 08:58 PM

thats not too far fetched if the car was mint condition with very low miles.......

blk88lx · 04-23-2003, 10:17 PM

Hey I have a 78 F100 so I go to www.fordtrucks.com alot. I have a 351W in mine so I'm not interested but there are alot of guys w/73-86 carbed pick ups w/302's that would like to swap in EFI. I would post your stock stuff there, might get a bite
