I have a short block with oil pump, pan, crank, oe cam, etc. The block is cracked at the front,left head stud. I've thought about taking the internals out and giving the block to the dumpster divers that drive through the subdivision looking for metal. Is there any market for cranks,cams, rods etc? It was a good running engine except for the crack. I've seen cranks and cams on ebay at quite high prices but have not notice if they sold or not. What do you think?
 
Save the crank for sure.
 
I've been watching those parts on ebay for many months. They are not selling, and just keep getting re-posted. Of course, a lot of the parts are still available, and they are asking more than the price of a new part. I have no doubt you could sell them, but the prices would have to be reasonable, and much lower than a lot of the current ebay prices. The parts that actually sell fast on ebay are the NLA parts.

I pulled 24 used piston, rod and cylinder sets out of my "christmas" pile yesterday. I plan on looking through them to see what they are, but most will be going to the recycler.
