Very possible,I can go pull a big box full of coils off 60's/70's cars/trucks at a nearby junkyard, probably get them for a buck a piece, might just do that and clean them up and start selling them!!!!!!!!
On another note,I'm building a 331 for my street car, using a 1994 Mustang GT 302 block,these engines came with TRW forged flat top pistons and a Ford OEM double roller timing chain and hydraulic roller cam..
I ordered a new Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam and their double roller timing chain..Now the 94 GT motor was running in the junkyard when I bought it,unknown mileage as this engine had been transplanted in a 1988 Licoln Mark ??
The factory Ford USED timing chain set looks a lot better USED than the new Comp Cams set!!!!!!! I had to spend the better part of an hour working on the crank gear,it was not even close to going on the crank,new out of the box,looks like some half blind 10 year old kid did the machine work on it!!!the old ford one slid right on as it should have.......
Just becasue something is from an after market company and is labeled "High Performance" or something like that,doesn't mean it is better than an OEM part!!!!!!!!
