Sheesh... all I can say is probably some of the stock parts that are still marked E3xx.  I'm pretty sure I saw E3SB on my firewall, which makes perfect sense in that it probably didn't change from '83 to '85.

Ummm...good question. Gotta be the '84 block, crank, rods, pistons & heads that comprise the engine currently in the car :) Everything else is newer than that, I believe.

Lesssee, to keep up with TChicken, I have some lugnuts from a '39 Nash. Now don't tell me their not fuctional, as without them the wheels won't stay on....

Seriously I dunno, considered using '69 351W C9OE heads when my 5.0 was built(had the whole engine, since sold) but said naaahhh...

OOH OOH I know, any original 5.0 engine part from the '86 LSC, which is the short block, front cover and oil pan...

What I believe to be the original rear in my 88 TC with 304,000 miles on it, not that old but that's a lot of miles.
