Engine Shiny Bits

PCC · #1 (**permalink**) 11-26-2006, 11:03 PM

I see plenty of shiny bits on e-bay for windsor / cleveland engines, but would like to know the best source for late model windsors (EFI).

I'm looking for some shiny engine pulleys etc etc etc to dress up the engine bay.

Many thanks!

HI Peter,

I found what I wanted from the ford Racing catalogue.

http://www.fordracingparts.com/home/home.asp

Then I bought it from local dealers, I found RaceParts in QLD to have most things in stock.

The Zoops, March and Billet Specialties stuff cost an absolute fortune.

Thanks for that Phil, but I am still unsure on what fits an NC Fairlane 302 EFI Windsor.

Most sites on the web stock don't seem to list parts fo this engine and I'm not sure they are interchangable i.e. does a Windsor Engine pulley fit all windsor blocks? etc etc etc.

If you can't find parts you need, you can usually take your parts to a wheel specialist and they have the means to polish them. Or you can send them out and have the coated, dipped, colored,...

HI Peter,
I am not definitely sure if all windsors are the same, there my be different offsets and it depends if you have a 3 bolt or 4 bolt harmonic balancer.

Most sites would have dimensions you can work with.

I actually went for a gilmer set made by diecrest engineering for a 2 piece crank pulley, one to drive the alternator and one to drive the powersteering pump.

I made the brakets out of alloy and had them polished.

This sort of stuff is pretty hard to get, there are plenty for small block chevs though.

Quite fancy nico electroplating, but unsure who does it here in Brisbane.

Looks like stainless steel with a hint of gold and apparently stays as when it was coated.

Has anyone had any experience of such a method?

Thanks Guys
