What do you guys do with old engine blocks? Basically i bought a 90 TII with a bad motor. I haven't done much testing on it, but the seller told me that a local shop checked out the motor, and it had low compression and bad coolant seals. I have since swapped in a JDM motor and transferred all the manifolds/smog equip over. Now i have an block lying around(along with 2 tubs of parts), and i really dont have the $ or time to have it rebuilt, and i don't really have the space to keep it sitting around either. I do know some of the parts are worth something...but i dont want to spend too much time trying to sell it off if its not going to be worth the effort. Any suggestions? Part it out? sell it? toss it in the trash?
As per the condition of the block...aside from being dirtier than joe dirt, when transferring manifolds and other things to the jdm block, i found the stock manifold was cracked, and the turbo seals must have been shot, because it took me like 4 bottles of brake clean and a ton of passes of 409 to get a thick black layer of oil and carbon out of the intake manifold runners and throttle body. I can only assume what the internals look like, not to mention the side housings.
