Score !

I found a pair of NICE chrome headlight bezels and trim rings and also a complete chrome instrument cluster for my 62 F100 today. All for $50.

I`m still patting myself on the back.


I also found (and bought) a Ford 427 factory aluminum intake

I don`t need it, but got it cheap.


Great trip to the boneyard !

Good score. On the cheap too. If you don't need that factory FE intake, you could probably make a decent buck reselling it

Nice finds Donman. Way to go.

If you don't need that factory FE intake

I absolutely do not need an FE intake. I bought it to resell. It`s a 1966 date code 427 "Sidewinder" intake. I found one on Ebay with a Buy It Now price of $849 and saw another one listed on a classic Ford website for $650.
I`m going to bead blast this and spray a couple coats of satin clear on it. I think it should sell quickly at $400 or so. SCORE !

Nice job Donman. Always nice when stuff like that comes along.

I wouldn't bead blast any aluminum, you ruin the original finnish and the value of the part. I think it would bring WAY more with a light cleaning and if you really want to get the $$ then spend some elbow grease and hand polish it, but never bead blast vintage aluminum parts. I have had my dirty Cal Custom FE valve covers be high sellers when there were 6 other sets on auction because the buyers wanted assured they had not been blasted.

I have a whole garage full of boneyard parts I didn't need (at least then) but still HAD to have!
That kind of thinking can turn even the simplest part quest into a real treasure hunt.
Nice scores-
If you don't want to waste all that time on the FE intake I'll be happy to take it off your hands for the 390 in my '55.
