The 1987 model year was the last of the carburator equipped engines. Ford went to Fuel injection starting in 1988. Roadhog :D

Re: Anyone Looking For Parts? 1993

Ok I see your situation. $8500 will buy you a replacement here in the USA. Maybe take the money and shop the US market. That would at least put you back to square one. Good luck what ever you decide. Howard

Re: Anyone Looking For Parts? 1993

If the number decals are on the front glass, you can remove them with a single edge razor blade. If the decals are on the fiberglass this method works very well. It was developed by my wife. Items needed for this is an old wash cloth and a steam iron, one you use for laundry. Wet the wash cloth and ...

rear sway bar

The unit I recieved had like a 3/8 inch front hanger rod instead of the bent metal angle ones I see in the installation you showed on your photos. I am not happy with the results. I still have a lot of roll and the wind really raise...
