Importing US Ford parts?
RazMan - 14/6/06 at 09:09 AM

I'm looking for some ST200 (V6 Duratec) parts like this and I have heard that they can be bought in the US fairly cheaply even with import costs.

Can anyone give me a hint about sourcing stuff like this?

USA perhaps?


or usa ebay? also there a companies advertising in kit car and other mags that do US engines, maybe they can help?

BTW; re: lalst one sold for £ 340 !!!! cheaper to fly over there and buy a couple, take back as hand luggage and flog on ebay!

The idea had occurred to me too!

I did something similar for the quad cam V8. Weighed less than 4kg's and boosted standard power to over 400hp.

Add a zero to the cost figures they're talking about on ebay.

How deep are your pockets??

Cheers,
Syd.

Not that this will really help you, but to buy it new from Ford (parts advertised on that ebay auction) it's going to cost you about £2000 Bet that £340 doesn't sound that bad now!!
