Now that I have a new salvaged motor, which is complete except for AC compressor and alternator?



Should I pull all the pieces that ARENT broken (which is basically everything with the exception of the rod/piston as far as I can tell) or try and sell it whole to somebody? Wouldn't I make more money parting it out? Selling the intake manifold, valve covers, etc? I'm keeping all the stuff I want for trail spares, like the water pump, oil pump, and anything else I think I might need/want on the trail one day. Am I better off just parting it out?

Make a coffee table out of it. Clean it up and put a piece of plexi-glass over it.

Heads and injectors and throttle body and .... UMmmmm Computer (if you have the one with your new one..) and ummmmmmm... Hell Cam rockers. (I have a cracked rocker myself. and am waiting for a set of aluminum ones.) EBAYem...

All of the engine stuff thats external should sell.. and a few of the internals..
Hell that intake is worth something on EBay as well..The heads can be reworked nicely to give you a much better running rig.. Have them built and swap them on your new engine and sell the stock ones on it.. :mrgreen:

My rig was down for almost 3 weeks waiting for my heads to be done.. I wish I had a spare set then...

I actually think it would be a sweet ass coffee table for my new pad.





I looked on Ebay and saw a 5.2 intake manifold for 40 bucks, 60 buy it now... I guess something is better than nothing.
