Try Mitchell's in Williams, CA. The want a core for building the syncro tranny. Sure they'd like to have it if it is good, the tower also maybe?

I have stitched up a few of the flywheel covers. Not sure how good they were but the didn't ring like an uncracked one. If yours will ring when suspended on a wire and gently struch with a wrench that should indicate no cracks. New ones are around $500. If throwing away, bear that in mind. Points restorer guys like originals. (Cracked ones make a "thus" sound, no ring.
