I am new to this forum and I am looking for some help. I have a friend, who knows nothing about computers or forums but has a vast knowledge of Y block ford automobiles and parts. He has been building and modifying them for fifty years. In that time has accumulated two huge storage building full of parts. I mean everything you can imagine from heads, pistons, blocks, fenders hoods, you name it. Problem now is he has to get out of the storage sheds and is looking for someone to take all of their contents. Yes all! He does not want to piece the stuff out, just find someone who will make him a reasonable offer on the lot and take it.



I am looking for a lead, someone I could hook him up with to make it happen. The parts are in the Sacramento, California area. If anyone knows of someone who would like to have this stuff I sure would like to get in contact with him or her. My friend does not want these parts to go to the scrap yard when someone restoring a car, or has a used parts retail business could put them back to good use.

Off the top of my head, try this guy. He's in CA.. Henaults Enterprises, La Grange CA. Michael at 209-852-2476 or E mail henaults@jps.net As far as I know he currently deals in driveline parts mainly, but you can give him a try.

mi woy: I understand why your associate wants to sell the whole lot at once.. however, at this point in time, that likely is a hard sell, due to amongst other things, the current economy & the ever dwindling availability of reasonably price storage space. He might want to consider selling in "lots" of parts, say cylinder heads, crankshafts & so on. Then groups of body parts etc... It would be very sad if because no one can be found that that can handle the whole ware houses full.. they ended up being lost to a scrap yard. Something to consider...

I would be interested in seeing what he has.  Might be able to get a CA crew of Y-Block guys to go together. Maybe?

ml woy do you know what is the timeline for losing the storage space?

There is not an immediate hurry on getting the stuff out. The guy has been talking all summer about getting the stuff gone. But the sooner the better as it is costing $400 per month to store it and he can use the money for other projects. If you are at all interested let's start a dialogue and make something happen and get these parts out to someone who can use them!

You can buy good 45-50 ft box trailers for pretty cheap, I have bought 2 recently, they are not taxed as buildings and hold lots of good parts, they can also be moved across country at will. Who ever buys the parts may need one to move them anyway.

I know I'm new here, but I would gladly volunteer for the nor cal contingent if that's what needed to happen. I would hate to see our dwindling resources further depleted because this couldn't be taken care of in a better way than "off to scrap" because no one could bulk it out.

wish I could help unload some of that stuff, but I am a little far away!

One other question? He has been building and modifying them for 50 years? any famous names associated with these parts?
