They have been sitting outside for 20+ years rotten oil pans,valve covers, siezed,water filled.
You guys see anything worth salvaging off these? Or should I just toss them in the scrap bin? There are NO HP motors
Quite a few useable parts there. Cranks & rods. Bust the pistons out they are no good. Head bolts, valve cover bolts. Oil pumps, all the engine bolts. Engine to trans bolts, Pulleys, valve cover look rough but if any are saveable. I’ve parted out several engines & transmissions. You have $100 in engine bolts for each engine. The small big block valves are getting hard to find. I even had a local machine shop call me this summer looking for an 70’s 318 head. He had a cracked one & due to Covid couldn’t find one.View attachment 407563 View attachment 407564 View attachment 407565 View attachment 407566 View attachment 407567 View attachment 407568 View attachment 407569 View attachment 407570 View attachment 407571 View attachment 407572 Picked up 9 65-73 440s today. I pulled these running 440s out of cars in the mid 80s from a junkyard I worked at then. When the yard closed they were stored in a barn. When the property was sold they were placed outside at storage yard covered badly (not by me)

Also the water pump housings & bolts.

If I recall right there are 2 65 440s. Will look for build dates tomarrow.I'm looking for a 440 with an early casting date of summer of 1965 June - September. Do you have anything? A 440 that early would not have any marks identifying it as a non TNT motor would it?

A cheap or "scrap price" 440 is a good 440 in my book. Get it apart, pound out the pistons and drop the crank, caps and block off at the machine shop. Maybe you don't need the crank because you are building a stroker.The heads can probably be saved, maybe the cranks, the rest is mostly junk unless someone needs the log manifolds.
