Ferrari parts

[Tekira]

I was looking at the engine in Dick Goodman's 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Replicar and i wanted to know where he got the valve covers, tripple carb manifold and the air filter cover. i have a 65 corvette 327 just like his. i have tried searching the internet for the tripple carbs but haven't found them. if anyone knows where i can find this stuff it would be great.

Thx,Josh

There was a post awhile back asking the same question, the consensus was that they are rare and not easy to come by.

Dick has actualy answered this several time if I'm correct. If the "search" is working that would be a good place to start. If I remember the valve covers are NLA. The air cleaner I believe can still be had, or maybe a very close copy.

Thanks guys and yup - I have answered the question a few times but the search function still seems to be broken so.............

 

Forget the valve covers - lots of people have tried to find them and failed. If you don't mind the four cam look (and expense!!!) Mickey over at Inglese has some great looking SBC valve covers http://www.inglese.com/inglese_products.htm BTW, He also has some awesome induction systems.

 

Better news on the Tri-power setup. Try Vintage Speed http://www.vintagespeed.com/ or you can get it from Larry Fulton over at Automotion http://www.hotrodcarbs.com/ Edelbrock still makes a Tri-Power intake but it is dual plane which makes it too tall to fit under my hood. Therefore, my manifold is an Offenhauser single plane unit that was made for early Corvettes. I picked it up, brand new in the original box, off of eBay.

 

My air cleaner is an old Edelbrock unit and the good news there is that they have started making it again http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/index.html

 

Hope this helps.
