zeitgeist57 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Do junkyards or auto stores buy complete longblocks used? Yes, rednecks...that IS how out of touch I am with the grease-monkey side of my car passion. I'm waffling on whether to re-gasket a newer but higher-mileage Ford 300 I-6 engine from a 1993 F150 into my 1982 F100 . . . it's a decent runner with good compression, but at over 150k miles I am starting to second-guess the logic of putting that much effort into an engine that could conceivably pop down the road... Trying to help my decision whether to just rebuild the stock motor or use the newer engine is whether I can get my money back out of it relatively easily! Any resources would be appreciated. Thanks!

Buckeye1647545503 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Oh my bad ... only for scrap weight (maybe 50 bucks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Yeah you don't get a lot from the scrap yards. I just stuff a lot of stuff into one of the cavy's I junked this week and got $290 for 2 blocks, 2 heads, 1 set of cam towers, a few intake(Alum), 2 transmissions, and a few rotors. After I drop that stuff off I got $375 for the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to mess with it. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
