I understand the tank museum at CFB Borden has a number of parts for various models.
A copy of any manuals would be useful, happy to pay what ever it cost. Will probable install a Cummins diesel or something similar so we are not afraid to drive her. Originally I think she would have been fitted with a Multibank but they are very scarce to find and expensive to rebuild.
they can show up here from time to time....
good luck the Firefly is not common

Not doubting the capability of the Firefly are we?
Their effectiveness rapidly became legendary, as testified by the most enviable hunting scores of all Allied tanks. On 9 June 1944, Lt. G. K. Henry’s Firefly knocked-out five Panthers from the 12th SS Panzer Division in rapid succession during the defense of Norrey-en-Bessin. Other Shermans were credited with two more, out of a total of 12, successfully repelling the attack. On June 14, Sgt. Harris of the 4th/7th Dragoon Guards destroyed five Panthers around the hamlet of Lingèvres, near Tilly-sur-Seulles, changing position in between. Even the most feared German top ace tank commander, Michael Wittman, was presumably killed by a Canadian Firefly. This famous action was credited to Ekins, the gunner of Sergeant Gordon’s Sherman Firefly from the Sherbrooke Fusiliers Regiment, A-Sqn. He destroyed three Tigers in a row, one of which was presumably that of Michael Wittman, near Cintheaux, in August 1944.
Try contacting the Lord Strathcona's Horse (RC) Historical Vehicle troop, they have a running Sherman. http://www.strathconas.ca/historical-vehicle-troop
