Re: 400 motor - scrap it?

[Donnie Schanz Jr <dcs426@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the question I always ask myself when junking something like that. 
Do they still make these? Answer yes, junk it, answer no, put it somewhere. 
Any real engine is getting harder and harder to find, and the "junk chinese" 
aftermarket parts dont make the repop or new forged items any better. Keep 
it. Take it apart and put the block, crank, rods somewhere and junk the 
rest.
