Good going Gary...down this way we rarely see a '57 part at even the huge swap meets. ( which reminds me Chickasha, Ok. swap meet is next weekend)
Any progress on your 4.6 swap?

Rich, trick to finding parts is to let them come to you. I have a friend that has an embroidery business and whatever car I'm working on he makes me a ballcap that says WANTED! (car year & brand) parts!  Always in real bright neon colors. Not only do vendors notice but other guys will tell you not only about parts they know about elsewhere or somewhere at that meet. Has worked miracles for me.
