Hey guys, just had a question about selling engine parts... i am junking (all but block just in case) a 78 250 inline 6, tearing out the pistons/head/crank/cam everything! just wondered if you guys knew of a way to make money off the access parts? theres a local dump that buys scrap metal, but what about things like alternator and ac unit? think it'd be best to just haul all the access parts down to that dump and see if they'll buy it all to smelt down? just trying to figure a way to make money off it to build my new motor as money is tight for now :( damn overtime is gone :(

Unless you find the right buyer, you will probably get more out of it taking it in for scrap. Metal is up pretty good right now.
