I agree with you. I've found a 425 engine and tranny to build so I can save the numbers matching pieces, but the aftermarket speed parts are just few and far between.

Watching the numbers on the forums however, it looks like they are becoming more popular again. The forums are busy and the 425 engine non running but not junk will run $500-$800, and that's without anything special about them. In addition between 1953 and 1966 they made millions of them.
