Some Ford Explorers for the upgraded sun visors.

Crown Vics and other Fords for the "bugeye" dome light.

Crown Vic cop car aluminum driveshaft (shortened and balanced)....worked for the Sport

Explorers for their 5.0 engines and parts (apparently)

SN-95 Stangs for differentials and 5 lug suspension pieces

Taurus for the fan and 130 amp alternators (3.0 engine for the alternator)

Taurus (some of them) for 24# injectors)

EFI F-150 pickups for cheap E-7 heads and 19# injectors

Of course Fox Mustangs and their Mass Air, engines, and computers, and suspension parts for bigger front brakes (like the TC), H-Pipes and headers

Some crown Vics for mass Air meters and 19# injectors

Mark VIII for 24# injectors

Some SHO Taurus for their shift boot (same as ours), leather shift  for 5 speed, and Mas Air meters 9same as a Fox Stang)

SN=95 Stangs (with the 5.0) for engines and 5 speeds (you'll also need their bellhousing to use them in our car, but the Fox Stang for clutch pedal assembly)

Late 80's Lincolns (with that stupid looking short trunk lid) for Fox body metal heater tubes on the intake, throttle body cable brackets, belt tensioners

Mark VII Lincolns for their H.O 5.0 and components, 5 lug disc rear and 5 lug front suspension. H-Pipe and headers

Many different GM cars for their compass mirrors (easier to find them in GM cars than any other)

Some GM cars also have 24# injectors (look different than ours, but they will work) They also have 19# injectors in many of them

Many Explorers for transmission coolers (nice sturdy ones) and some have power steering coolers also)

Some ranger trucks have really good gears, get under them and look (like the Edge for example)

Also, some Explorers as well. My friend found a Traction Lock 3.73 rear in one for his '67 Stang (had discs as well) The rear won't work, but great 31 spline traction lock and gears.

Mark VIII's have 24 pounders...

EEC's from Mark VII for a stock HO engine...some say they have a rev limiter, although I can't say if this is true or not.

Get this one. VERY nice, soft leather. I have one in the Sport. 3 years now, and still looks great....

If it'll fit, I suppose it does count.
