    Need advise asap

    I got a engine. Block crank an pistons in it an a head on it. No intake or exhaust manifolds. From a early 90s Honda accord aluminum block an head. I was offered 50$ for it do you guys think I could do better scrapping it? It would be dirty alum

    if someone is offering you $50, i would take it, i dont know what you get for dirty al but for me to get that the engine would have to weigh 333lbs to make $50.

    Either going to give you dirty alum or #1 steel price...take the 50 and save the gas going to yard. Works out about the same.
