Where to find bits?
Discussion
Soon I shall be in the position to pick up my engine for the bruised testicle, but I need some info on parts if you guys could be of help?
Basically Ive bought the engine and drive assembly from a Ford XR4X4 and obviously I need to remove the shafts & hubs, change the sump and pickup, weld baffles in and change the flywheel (all information from a former Ford Performance specialist
) but where do I find old Ford parts? Its been soo long since I bought any?

Burton Power were very good, if you spoke to the right person there, some staff were just telesales numpties others had a fantastic knowledge of these engines.
JW Developments, is extremely experianced in Ford V6 engines, he wont sell you shiney 'chav' upgrades, but will sell you quality proven components. He had a custom ground cam made for me (by kent) - same price as any other cams in their range, but transformed the car.
I also used Ebay quite a lot, there are a lot of V6 parts on there, I steered away from used parts and bought new old stock, sadly just missed out on a pair of new heads recently, would of been good for the just in case shelf. There was also a new block on their recently!
Regards and good luck.

When you had the custom ground cam made, what were your requirements? How much did it cost as Ive seen cams for as little as £158 for race cams?
