I have a 1995 4 Winns with a Volvo DP and a Ford 351W.
Parts are getting harder to find for the trusty Ford and I am putting together a spares kit.
Based on my discussions with some automotive engineers I know, this is what I think I need.

HP Fuel Pump
LP Fuel Pump
Float chamber sealing kit.
TFI-IV ignition module
Water pump impeller
Distributor rotor, cap and cover.

Anyone have any suggestions for what else might fail on this combo that I should stock?

I'm a SBC guy but the Windsor Ford is known in the hot rod world for its excellent oiling system and the strength of its block. I wanna keep this thing alive as long as is reasonable.

Re: Spares Kit

Your winsor engine has been in production from 1969 to present I don't think you'll have any problem finding parts for the engine. The VP coupler may be a problem though.

I plan to keep this stuff on the boat.
You can't always go to a store when you really need something.

Oh I see, I didn't realize you were planning on making an on board kit, I thought you were afraid of the parts being NLA in the future.

So, can someone who has experience wrenching on marine 351's tell me if I am missing anything here.
