Default Econoline Us Import Parts Woes

Hi all, I have an '86 Econoline Clubwagon import (v8 A-team Van).

It is a great vehicle but I am coming up to the point where I want to do some maintenance on it. So I am needing a good reliable source for the parts - ie a US REPCO??

I need Brakes all round front discs, switches etc.

I also want some fat wheels and tyres, the rims I think are 16 inch and have 8 wheel nuts on each, need some mags or sunrasia's nothing too fancy - just wide for more stability

Do any of you know a good place to buy these?

I also want to swap the current straight gas 302 Windsor lump with a 351 fuel injected Windsor if they exist???? - I then want to put on LPG liquid injection from LPGLI.com.au - which will give me 10% more power than petrol injection - can't wait.


I would consider converting my carbied 302 windsor over to gas liquid injection if it is an easy job to get fuel injection heads....???

Any advice from your wealth of knowledge would be great!

Have you tried any of the Amercian car parts mobs? Or anyone who deals with F100s? Probably be your best bet.

Late 80s F-series had EFI 351Windsors, should be able to still get one without too much effort.
