Ford 5.0 Injected V-8 needed for replica of daughters '57 Ford coupe

[Wickersham Humble]

My daughter (and here 'get'r done' hubby, Thane) are building up a '57 Ford business coupe for her, and have swapped in a Ford 5.0 eight and A/T from a possibly a Mustang/Cougar with the distinctive fuel injection ram manifold that arches over the valve covers, etc.  I have a couple of the kits, and since the final bodywork and paint* are going to be done by old me, want to build a replica for as a surprise gift.  If anyone knows the engine I mean (not photos) and can spare an example, I have a lot of VERY OLD parts to swap?!  Thanks very much!  Wick

*It's a new era: they are doing it in Summit 'Battleship Gray', like their Toyota 4x4 in the new color fads!  Easy to shoot, anyhow!

This intake manifold is in one ofvthe Revell 32 Ford kits, i think the Speedwagon.

I might have one to spare? I'll do some looking.

[Wickersham Humble]

Thanks!  I'm not very familiar with that particular engine, but it has a longish scroll-like intake (silver aluminum) that rises over the intake manifold.  Not vital, oc, but be nice to have if available.  Let me know what trade stuff you might be looking for, tho.  Wick

Ive got it. The lower half of the manifold has been painted silver, top half is still on the chrome tree. 

I could put together a complete 5.0(302) with a C4? transmission from a Revell 32 Ford kit.

What are the chances of tailights/housings for an AMT 62 Buick wagon? Will have to think about any other "needs".

Should probably verify you are in the 48 states.

Shipping might be a little silly anywhere else.

[Wickersham Humble]

That's the one, if you can spare it!

Paradoxically, I do have those lights, but they're for a Buick I began in '62, and am now finishing as a nail-head powered 2-door sedan delivery.  Anything else? Wick

I'd even be happy to get my hands on those taillights to make a mold so I could resin cast a set.

Let me think about other "needs" tomorrow while at work.

Jason;

Well, that could happen... let me make sure I have a pair.. In '62, I was a mad Kustomizer, and tried to put Revell '56 Ford tail-lites on the body, but later realized how off the wall that was, and went back to stock.  Send my your address, and if I can I  will.  Mine is 3191 Coronado Rd., Chico, CA 95973

I have been assuming they are the same left and right. I could be wrong though.

I could also use the port hole pieces for the front fenders. And would be happy to pull a mold of those too. Again, I'm assuming these are the same part left to right.

So, if you have one of any of these to be molded, could get you the other part in resin.

Sending address in PM.

Pretty sure I have the portholes; I was hoping to find one stick so I could make eight, four per, ala Roadmaster!  Let me look in the box!  Wick
