    I got my first engine block...

    OK laugh at me (I can take it, I have kids). Should I take off the intake and sell it separate, or is it worth the hassle?

    Assuming that any aluminum has been removed, the important thing to find out from your yard is whether the pistons need to come out for it to be grade A stuff. Where I sell mine, engines are the good stuff, regaurdless what is still on it or in it..

    Hey, every day the rest of us run into things we've never run into before, and have to ask questions.
