Can anyone help with a possible interchange for this block? Does anyone know correct engine color? Also, FYI, I will be visiting the Hup/graham warehouse this weekend, need anything?

I am seriously looking for a new front bumper w/nerfs, grill, horn bugles, and headlite lenses for my 37 Crusader. I also have no rad, eng, or trans. Evidently these are NOT to be found?

Coachbuilder, what is the best way of getting ahold of Tish and how reasonable are the parts? What is the process of buying from her?

I've been told that the factory used what ever color was left over to paint the engines. Mine appears to be mostly original and sort of a blue/green color. Generally people use blue for the engine.

I'm pretty sure the engine was not sold to Nissan with the rest of the car molds because Graham didn't make this engine. The engine was manufactured by Continential so Graham substituted one of it's own engine designs when it was all sold to Nissan.

Most parts for this car are scarce.

What is the status of the factory store? Are they still open for business or only on an appointment basis?

Coachbuilder, how do you get ahold of Tish for the Graham warehouse and what can you advise me about buying from her? I still need some exterior body trim pieces for my 37.

I think the Graham warehouse is still in business and has brand new engines to fit your car. Don't know their address sorry.
