Hi, I have to rebuilt a 401, and I'm wondering want would be a good place to buy the parts ?? I'm thinking of Kanter inc, any feedback on there products ? thanks olivier
Kantor,, Egge,, Advance,,,napa,,,, The parts supply chains will give you a better price on general stuff.... kantor and Egge and people like that for the harder to find items....the way I come out best is to get everything I can by advance , orileys, ect... and the things they dont supply , I get from some other supplier... do your home work..... do your home work.... also,,, do all the work on the engine prep and assembly you can do your self,,,your labor is worth a lot of money.... and remember, ''if a engine aint clean enough to eat out of,,, it aint clean enough to put back together..'':laugh: :laugh:
I will not say anything bad about Kanter. They are honest and great to do business with - at least that is my experience. BUT - I bought a complete set of rocker arms from them. The shafts and stands were fine, but my engine builder found that the rocker arm geometry was not correct. Kanter did take them back and gave me a full refund, even though the 30-day return period had expired.
Had the same experience with rocker arms from Egge. Maybe they use the same supplier ? Tom Telesco would be a good source if you need those.
Over the years I've used Northern Auto in Sioux City, Iowa. They always had old stock US engine parts. Seems to me I heard they've been trying to move some of that on Ebay tho-
