Needing old/broken parts
 
Hello,
I am asking for help to get old or broken engine parts. I am starting an automotive class for a group of kids, and adults from my church. I am looking for small parts like oil pump, pickup, stock roker arm, lifter, parts just to show them and also explain to them how it works. I would like to be able to show them differences between stock parts and high performance parts. The big plan is to restore a 55 Nomad during the course as well. Also, we will be working on churc members cars for just the cost of the parts. I feel this would be a great way to keep the kids off the street and hopefully teach them a little along the way. :D Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Great idea!
Good luck with the project.
Maybe your local autozone or speed shop could come up with some used stuff.

Thanks slowmotion. I know the way I learned was going over and helpingt a mechanic work on his car once I got out of school. He had a 71 Cuda 8) Oh yeah, I almost forgot, then there was this one time when I try to tear apart and put back my dads brand new riding lawn mower. :) He still hsn't forgot about that.

Hey Chris,

You sure you don't need some broken high performance parts, i'm certain they would be easier to find among us racers, heck i could send you blocks, rods, pistons, bearings you name it. you see i may run fast but it's not cheap and not without broken parts :oops: .

Hehe, i think BJ has some broken lifters also :o

Zip.

Anything would be appreciated. I am going to do some "show and tell" about the difference in high performance parts as well as stock parts.
