A guy came by my shop a few months ago because he saw my 63 sitting out front. He said that he had the exact car in the 70's and his wife wrecked it after he had compiled some speed parts to go in it. They've been sitting in the garage ever since, so he offered them to me.

I haven't gone through them yet, but the bigger parts include: Offy 4 barrel manifold, Clifford split headers, clutch and pressure plate, machined head with new valves, forged crank, 2 bump sticks, a box of carburetors, pistons and rods, misc other crap.

Not sure what I am going to do with it all. I was only interested in the intake and exhaust. Maybe the head and one of the cams. Good haul though, huh??!

A few more pictures after unloading. I will probably keep the manifolds, clutch, the new cam, the head with the little parts and maybe one of the carbs. Any help identifying what I have would be appreciated. The new cam is stamped "B" and "1253" on it, but I dont see a manufacturer in the packaging. I gotta Google that

The headers are Clifford "long tubes". They look like the early build for a early "A" body. The early build Cliffords have longer collectors, then the later build. I think I see a white sticker on the collector. What is the number on that?
 
You got a lot of good items.
How much did you pay for it all?
If it's under $500 you got a screaming deal...
 
Not that is an awesome box-O-parts ya got there!
Re contact the fella for cam info. Ya might get lucky.
