Gary;

I know what it's like to have to search junk yards for parts and get nickel and dimed to death, so since buildng my shop about ten years ago, I throw away almost nothing.........

The other day I was looking for something and came across a five gallon bucket 3/4 full of head bolts for a 302 and 351s..when ever I tear down a motor, I save all the little things like the slinger and put them in five gallon buckets or army surplus wood ammo boxes.....never know when you'll need a part or extra bolts.....
I'm always using the old head bolts for some project.....

I finally threw away two original Ford cast iron 4V intakes for a 351-W....saved them for soo long and nobody wanted them, one day while cleaning up, I decided I was tired of moving those heavy things out of the way......you know, a few months later someone was looking for one.....

The way I figure it, if I have a spare, chances are I'll never need it,meaning my junk will not brake down, but throw it away and within 3 days, you'll need it......happens every time........

Glad I could help you out............

David
