You can get them from any 85-88 cougar/tbird at a junker.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Doesn't anyone sell them new or rebuilt?  I don't want to get a used part if I don't have to...
