Trying to figure out how and where to get all my parts is a little overwhelming! 99.5 7.3

Rings
bearings - mains, rod, cam
gaskets/seals - head, lower, EBPV, HPOP, pedestal, fuel lines, oil cooler, injectors o rings...
bellowed up pipes
and what ever else I'm forgetting?

I suppose if I weren't so cheap it wouldn't be stressful! BUT THEN I DO HAVE 5 DAUGHTERS TO TAKE CARE OF ON A PRODUCTION WORKERS PAY check :brickwall:

I can get the DNJ ring set for $136, wondering if anyone ever used them?

And the gasket sets don't have much in the way of included parts lists?!?

Any recommendations?

What might DNJ stand for? Maybe 'dere not junk? :lol:

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Did a little research and it actually stands for Domestic-N-Japanese. I looked up the domain name (enginecomponents.com) and it's registered in Scottsdale, AZ. Doesn't mean the stuff isn't imported though.

I feel for you about the cost. Fortunately I only have two daughters, and they're both on their own now.

You might check with your local International Dealer for parts. I think they could get you fixed up without breaking the bank. Typically less money than Ford for the same stuff in a different package. Either that or go with name brand stuff such as Mahle (formerly Perfect Circle) for pistons and rings, and Fel-Pro or Victor Reinz for gasket sets. You definitely don't want to go too cheap.
