well I'm more talking oem parts guys will look for when gathering parts. For instance the heat exchanger bracket is crazy expensive I've seen but then going to aftermarket is the same or more but I doubt anyone sells just the bracket. Usually one has to buy a h/e with it. It's just too bad Ford didn't produce the Lightning engine for a longer period. To make more parts available.

[MENTION=64669]jferg92[/MENTION] when are we doing your swap. We can mount up your h/e in place or get your fuel pump in..mount your intercooler pump..before you start the actual.

Any of you guys going to a pull a part or salvage yard any time soon? If you do, can you get me one of the little rubber or plastic nipple cover things for the shifter end? I forgot to get one when I was there. It's the thing missing in the picture on the shifter.
