I have a special mod idea and I need a 96-97 IMRC cover to pull it off.
It's insane how hard it is to find one! Ford does not make the pre-98 IMRC covers anymore so I'm forced to find one second hand. Have not had any success at pull your own part autowreckers in the Twin Cities all have been picked clean of V6 engines. What makes it worse is I have yet to find a local salvage yard who will sell me "just" the IMRC cover alone.
Yes, I do have dexcool in my engine. My 3.0 hybrid had it from day one.
