This is the place. Put up a WTB ad and see if anyone offers any up.

Thanks for the info Marko. I guess you would end up with a couple more special details than i thought....such as the heavier built trans. I was surprised to see the blurb about valves....i would have guessed that the 350 and 375 horse engines shared the same head castings and indeed the same...

What makes a U code special if you cant use the car itself? Camshaft, air cleaner and carb id say. Exhaust manifolds? Pistons? Anything else? Or is it more valuable just for the stampings for some restorer? Some of that stuff would surely get pitched on any rebuild anyway.

Not gonna be much help, but here goes. 4000 rpm is kinda high really....seems like thats not an early shift. You make no mention of the mph..... both factor in when you are discussing the governor, as it is located on the output shaft ( or runs at that speed im meaning to say). You can buy...
