Check Hemmings Motor News for parts cars, call Sunbeam Specialties at
(408) 371-1642 or Victoria British at (800) 255-0088 and ask for their
catalogs or go to swap meets at auto shows.

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOO please don't do it! You can find Sunbeam drivetrains all
over the place. I myself have 2 engines 3 transmissions 2 drive shafts and
2 rear axles and I didn't look that far.
>Thank you in advance.
your welcome
