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
Oh yeah. Lots of leftovers from the engine swap.
I got stuff all over my basp00get, garage and the shop. Can't throw it away and can't sell it.
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 only have stuff saved that I could possibly use on my cars. everything else I get rid of. A bunch of big stuff will be leaving very soon
i guess i should post my ho motor 4 sale so someone else
can have more stuff in their garage.--irv
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?".
Nope, no parts here:

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 don't have many engine parts,but I found 3 boxes of misc Thunderbird parts out in the garage today I didn't know I had.I saw console brackets,switches and other things.I may go through some of it tomorrow.I had forgotten all about it.I even wonder what all is out there now.LOL.
i don't have a collection of engine part but a small collection of rare parts like a complete gst bodykit, mudflap sets, some tbird front lights, and my 7.5 rear end that im still working on.
In my garage and at my dads garage I have and claim as my own from people leaving them at my place.
Two sets of 4v 4.6 heads, a collection of blown and good turbos, a blown supra tranny, every stock part I have ever taken off the cobra (cams, springs/lifters, pistons, rings, intake, stock sc, brakes, radiator, hood, stock bucket seats, fuel injectors, a chevy 4.3, 98 supra tailights (2 pairs), rear bumper mkiv supra, stock supra wing, various intercooler pipes, a really nice fmic, stock supra smic, cams, stock brakes (replaced with a nice brembo kit last month :) )
I also have a set of stock mkiv supra tt wheels, weld drag lites, some work meister sp1 3piece wheels, and 2 sets of cobra wheels, honda s2000 Ap1's, mitsubishi 3000gt radiator, and 3000gt headlights, and a set of bbs LM wheels that are going on the wagon when I get home. I know its a lot but I keep everything for som reason. I will be selling all this on CL and various forums pretty soon.
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.
I got an '84 5.0 HO with uber rare CFI set up lol, a complete 2.3T, two IHIs, 2.3T engine harness with comp, and a bunch of other little misc .
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.
