Parts for 1995 5.0 Fi Ford

[1995ChrisCraft]

Lots of questions here.... Where can i find parts for a Ford 5.0 Fi (50FAPHUE) engine thats in my 1995 Chris Craft?

Started with a small gasket leak on Elbow Adapter between Thermostat Housing and Intake. Unfortunatly the bolts were rusted beyond removal so after trying everything (but drilling out) tried to pop the heads off with a chisel. Apparently aluminum intakes don't like this along with years of corrosion, as the mouth literally crumbled on one side and cracked on the other. Now I need a new lower intake and every site I have found says part is obsolete. The boat mechanic can not even find one. We're both out of options at this point unless his friend thats a Ford rep can figure something out for us.

Has anyone else ran into this parts issue or know a solution? Can automotive parts be used on this engine? Even the steel Elbow Adapter is obsolete but luckily can weld that part to fix. Surely I'm not the only one that has ran into this problem or am I just not looking in the right places? I'm in favor of used parts too so any ideas will help.

Thanks for your help!

It's OMC numbers. Please do not post the same thing in more than one forum.

From the forum rules.

13. Please do not post multiple threads in multiple forums about a single problem. This is confusing to those trying to help you. Multiple threads in the same forum about the same issue is also confusing. If you want help fast, one thread in one forum is the best way to get it.
