Title: Anyone else have a collection of engine parts in the garage?
Post by: thunderjet302 on March 26, 2010, 12:05:47 AM
So does anyone have a bunch of engine parts in the garage that you won't ever be using again on your car? I realized how much "junk" I have in the garage yesterday as I finished waxing the T-bird. I have:

a HO upper and lower intake with TB
19lb injectors
14lb injectors
a 70mm F2VF MAF
a stock HO cam
stock HO headers
speed density air tube

I'm not going to be using this stuff any time soon but yet I still have it. I keep telling myself I should save it in case I get that sport I want one day but realistically I don't think I'll ever have two "toy" cars. So basically I'm saving junk for no good reason. Does anyone else have this problem? :hick:

If I had those parts in my garage I would have already done the HO conversion :D 
 I do have a collection of "stuff " though

I've got a complete non-HO engine, a set of E7 heads, an HO upper/lower intake, a 5.0/AOD flexplate, and a whole bunch of non engine parts, including red interior stuff, non-TC header panel and bumper, extraa TC header, two doors, a non-TC hood...

He's far and beyond the HO conversion ;)

I have enough parts to build another Tbird, less a transmission, and tail lights...

4 engines in various piles of parts...
2 complete sets of Tbird doors...

Nothing worth a whole lot though...

I have a complete 91 T-bird 5.0 HO shortblock, all my stock SO top end stuff,  7.5 rearend, all my stock suspension parts, etc.  Yeah I probably need to throw the  away but I keep asking myself "will this car ever be valuable enough to restore to original?".

I have a 1.5 car garage so if I have to work on the 95 it's gotta be outside, which is fun in the winter.

I still have a ton of 3.8L V8 parts such as fan/shroud, engine harness, CATs, pulleys, etc. that I would like to get rid off.  Problem is no one wants them and they are in too good of shape for me to throw out.

My garage is full of Cadillac engines and transmissions, plus a ton of other parts.  Also have an extra 383 stroker Chevy engine for my 49 Jeepster.  The only Ford engine I had was a 351W that I got rid of last week.
